mvsas driver needs some love

[Orion Poplawski]

This is a plea to see if any of the Fedora kernel folks might be able to 
help give the mvsas driver some love.  This driver supports some nice 
inexpensive pcie SAS controllers that I would very much like to use for 
my next generation disk servers.

Unfortunately the current driver is not very robust.  Andy Yan of 
Marvell has posted some patches that appear to help some, but were not 
in good shape.

The patch posts start here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=125773523811252&w=2

If there was any chance to get updated versions into the Fedora kernel 
so that I could (much) more easily test, that would be a huge help to me.

Thank you for your consideration.
