The raid6_gfexp table represents {2}^n values for 0 <= n < 256. The Linux async_tx framework pass values from raid6_gfexp as coefficients for each source to prep_dma_pq() callback of DMA channel with PQ capability. This creates problem for RAID6 offload engines (such as Broadcom SBA) which take disk position (i.e. log of {2}) instead of multiplicative cofficients from raid6_gfexp table. This patch adds raid6_gflog table having log-of-2 value for any given x such that 0 <= x < 256. For any given disk coefficient x, the corresponding disk position is given by raid6_gflog[x]. The RAID6 offload engine driver can use this newly added raid6_gflog table to get disk position from multiplicative coefficient.
