[SCSI] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: 64-bit DMA capability checker
This patch contains - a fix for 64-bit DMA capability check in megaraid_{mm,mbox} driver. - includes changes (going back to 32-bit DMA mask if 64-bit DMA mask failes) suggested by James with previous patch. - addition of SATA 150-4/6 as commented by Vasily Averin. With patch, the driver access PCIconfiguration space with dedicated offset to read a signature. If the signature read, it means that the controller has capability to handle 64-bit DMA. Without this patch, the driver used to blindly claim 64-bit DMA capability. The issue has been reported by Vasily Averin [vvs@sw.ru]. Thank you Vasily for the reporting.

+Release Date : Fri May 19 09:31:45 EST 2006 - Seokmann Ju <sju@lsil.com>
+Current Version : 2.20.4.9 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version : 2.20.4.8 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1. Fixed a bug in megaraid_init_mbox().
+ Customer reported "garbage in file on x86_64 platform".
+ Root Cause: the driver registered controllers as 64-bit DMA capable
+ for those which are not support it.
+ Fix: Made change in the function inserting identification machanism
+ identifying 64-bit DMA capable controllers.
