Patch 2/2
This patch adds reboot_notifier support to cciss. Changes in firmware make this patch
essential. Without this patch there may be valid data left in the controller's battery
backed write cache (BBWC) on shutdown. We found out the hard way that the kernel does
not call our cleanup routines on shutdown or reboot. It seems that only rmmod calls
the cleanup.
Please consider this for inclusion.
