Subject:  [PATCH] scsi: Update Aic94xx SAS/SATA Linux open source device
driver to fix smartctl utility problem.

Contribution:
   Gilbert Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Change Log:


1. Fixed the problem that "smartctl -a /dev/some_sata_disk -d ata"
   does not work on aic94xx device drive with SATA devices.
   The smartctl utility send down ATA smart command to aic94xx
   driver and fail to get the result which is stored on ATA output
   register. 
   In normal case, Aic94xx’s firmware does not return the value of
   ATA output register to device driver due to performance reason.
   To solve this issue then the driver need to turn on internal
   flag (CSMI_TASK) for particular ATA command to enable firmware
   to return the value of ATA output register.




Patch: apply to aic94xx-sas-2.6.git development tree
