From: HighPoint Linux Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> avoid buffer overflow when returning sense data.
With current adapter firmware the driver is working but future firmware updates may return sense data larger than 96 bytes, causing overflow on scp->sense_buffer and a kernel crash. This fix should be backported to earlier kernels.
