      [SCSI] aacraid: merge rx and rkt code · 76a7f8fd
      Mark Haverkamp authored
      Received from Mark Salyzyn:
      
      The only real difference between the rkt and rx platform modules is the
      offset of the message registers. This patch recognizes this similarity
      and simplifies the driver to reduce it's code footprint and to improve
      maintainability by reducing the code duplication.
      
      Visibly, the 'rkt.c' portion of this patch looks more complicated than
      it really is. View it as retaining the rkt-only specifics of the
      interface.

      [SCSI] aacraid: expose physical devices · 653ba58d

      I am placing this functionality into an insmod parameter. Normally the physical
      components are exported to sg, and are blocked from showing up in sd.
      
      Note that the pass-through I/O path via the driver through the Firmware to the
      physical disks is not an optimized path, the card is designed for Hardware
      RAID, elevator sorting and caching. This should not be used as a means for
      utilizing the aacraid based controllers as a generic scsi/SATA/SAS controller,
      performance should suck by a few percentage points, any RAID meta-data on the
      drives will confuse the controller about who owns the drives and there is a
      high risk of destroying content in both directions. Unreliable and for
      experimentation or strange controlled circumstances only.

      [SCSI] aacraid: misc cleanup · 65101355

      Basically cleanup, nothing here will have an affect. Adjusting some
      error codes, removing superfluous definitions and code fragments.
