NB = number of blocks. This represents the number of blocks to transfer. The block size is based on the message frame size provided in the ioc_facts. A value of zero indicates the entire message frame should be copied. This is two bit value. So by setting this to non-zero vaule, you increase performance by reducing amount of data needing to be dma'd. The value that is stored in ioc->ReqeustNB is sometimes a non-zero vaule, which creates a bug in mptlan, where not the entire message frame is getting transfer to firware, resulting in corruption. This fix sets the default to zero, thus entire message frame is copied.
