Since end-users may have difficulties finding the right configuration option
for some popular LSI controllers, this patch tries to improve Kconfig
appropriately.
Also see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120967940402791&w=2
This attached patch is against current git.
It was already sent some months ago and acked by Eric on linux-scsi, but it
never got merged for no apparent reason.
Please merge or explicitly reject.
