This patch enables the SMP READ/WRITE GPIO function interface in libsas SMP
host module. The interface is used to control the SGPIO initiator in the SAS
initiator. The implementation is SFF-8485 and SAS-2 compliant.

There are two functions in transport class only responsible for reading and
writting GPIO registers. I decided to leave the decission about what type of
registers are supported to lldd.

Now the user space application may issue SMP READ/WRITE GPIO frame to HBA in
order to read/write GPIO registers.

Your code also accepts the somewhat mysterious READ GPIO
REGISTER ENHANCED SMP function and its WRITE equivalent.
Reference is made in sas2r16.pdf to SFF-8485 for those
functions. However the most recent version of SFF-8485
on the Seagate site is 0.7 dated February 2006, and it does
not define those ENHANCED functions.

Could you tell us what those ENHANCED versions do?
