Please add it in this order
1. 132aa220b4 hpsa: refine the pci enable/disable handling
2. 859c75aba2 hpsa: add missing pci_set_master in kdump path
   The first two patches create the fix Masoud has asked for originally to port to stable.
3. 3b74729878 hpsa: turn off interrupts when kdump starts
   The third should be added too, it fixes an issue made visible by the first patch

The fourth patch
03741d956e hpsa: fix memory leak in kdump hard reset
is completely unrelated to the first group, so it may be added after or before
or in the same sequence as it is in the mainline - that is before the third patch.
This patch is tiny error path fix - not sure if important enough for stable.

Regards,
Tomas
