+
+1.	Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
+	OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
+	will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
+	affact the OS hbhavious.
+
+	To add the OCR support, driver need to do: 
+		a). reset the controller chip -- Xscale and Gen2.
+		
+		b). during the reset, driver will store the pending
+		cmds to pending queue.
+		
+		c). Also in driver's timeout routine, driver will
+		report to OS as reset.
+		
+		d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW
+		state as state change and FW in Failure status,
+		driver will start to do the controller reset.
+		
+		e). If driver goes to timeout, but driver is in
+		operational status, driver will check if fw in failed
+		status, if yes, driver will do OCR to FW upto three times.
+		
+		f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
+		OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.      
+
+2.	Add the CTIO support to the driver.
+3.	Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
+	application which driver will support the device update.  So application
+	will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
+	from the system.
+
+4.	Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
+	customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
+	controller.
