HPSA specific ioctls
====================
For compatibility with applications written for the cciss driver, many, but
not all of the ioctls supported by the cciss driver are also supported by the
hpsa driver. The data structures used by these are described in
include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h
CCISS_DEREGDISK
CCISS_REGNEWDISK
CCISS_REGNEWD
CCISS_DEREGDISK, CCISS_REGNEWDISK, CCISS_REGNEWD
The above three ioctls all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver
to rescan for new devices. This does exactly the same thing as writing to the
hpsa specific host "rescan" attribute.
CCISS_GETPCIINFO
Returns PCI domain, bus, device and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID).
CCISS_GETDRIVVER
Returns driver version in three bytes encoded as::
Returns driver version in three bytes encoded as:

CCISS_PASSTHRU
CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU
CCISS_PASSTHRU, CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU
Allows "BMIC" and "CISS" commands to be passed through to the Smart Array.
These are used extensively by the HP Array Configuration Utility, SNMP storage
agents, etc. See cciss_vol_status at http://cciss.sf.net for some examples.
