+ Sumant Patro <sumant.patro@lsi.com>
+Current Version : 2.20.5.1 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version : 2.20.4.9 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1. Changes in Initialization to fix kdump failure.
+ Send SYNC command on loading.
+ This command clears the pending commands in the adapter
+ and re-initialize its internal RAID structure.
+ Without this change, megaraid driver either panics or fails to
+ initialize the adapter during kdump's second kernel boot
+ if there are pending commands or interrupts from other devices
+ sharing the same IRQ.
+2. Authors email-id domain name changed from lsil.com to lsi.com.
+ Also modified the MODULE_AUTHOR to megaraidlinux@lsi.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)
Fix: MegaRAID F/W has fixed the problem and being process of release,
soon. Meanwhile, driver will filter out the request.
+3. One of member in the data structure of the driver leads unaligne
+ issue on 64-bit platform.
+ Customer reporeted "kernel unaligned access addrss" issue when
+ application communicates with MegaRAID HBA driver.
+ Root Cause: in uioc_t structure, one of member had misaligned and it
+ led system to display the error message.
+ Fix: A patch submitted to community from following folk.
