[SCSI] arcmsr: initial driver, version 1.20.00.13

arcmsr is a driver for the Areca Raid controller, a host based RAID
subsystem that speaks SCSI at the firmware level.

This patch is quite a clean up over the initial submission with

+**	Usage of IOP331 adapter
+**	(All In/Out is in IOP331's view)
+**	1. Message 0 --> InitThread message and retrun code
+**	2. Doorbell is used for RS-232 emulation
+**		inDoorBell :    bit0 -- data in ready
+**			(DRIVER DATA WRITE OK)
+**				bit1 -- data out has been read
+**			(DRIVER DATA READ OK)
+**		outDooeBell:    bit0 -- data out ready
+**			(IOP331 DATA WRITE OK)
+**				bit1 -- data in has been read
+**			(IOP331 DATA READ OK)
+**	3. Index Memory Usage
+**	offset 0xf00 : for RS232 out (request buffer)
+**	offset 0xe00 : for RS232 in  (scratch buffer)
+**	offset 0xa00 : for inbound message code message_rwbuffer
+**			(driver send to IOP331)
+**	offset 0xa00 : for outbound message code message_rwbuffer
+**			(IOP331 send to driver)
+**	4. RS-232 emulation
+**		Currently 128 byte buffer is used
+**			1st uint32_t : Data length (1--124)
+**			Byte 4--127  : Max 124 bytes of data
+**	5. PostQ
+**	All SCSI Command must be sent through postQ:
+**	(inbound queue port)	Request frame must be 32 bytes aligned
+**	#bit27--bit31 => flag for post ccb
+**	#bit0--bit26  => real address (bit27--bit31) of post arcmsr_cdb
+**		bit31 :
+**			0 : 256 bytes frame
+**			1 : 512 bytes frame

+**			0 : normal request
+**			1 : BIOS request
+**		bit29 : reserved
+**		bit28 : reserved

+**	(outbount queue port)	Request reply
+**	#bit27--bit31
+**		=> flag for reply
+**	#bit0--bit26
+**		=> real address (bit27--bit31) of reply arcmsr_cdb
+**			bit31 : must be 0 (for this type of reply)
+**			bit30 : reserved for BIOS handshake
+**			bit29 : reserved
+**			bit28 :
+**			0 : no error, ignore AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
+**			1 : Error, error code in AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
+**			bit27 : reserved
+**	6. BIOS request
+**		All BIOS request is the same with request from PostQ
+**		Except :
+**			Request frame is sent from configuration space
+**		offset: 0x78 : Request Frame (bit30 == 1)
+**		offset: 0x18 : writeonly to generate
+**					IRQ to IOP331
+**		Completion of request:
+**			(bit30 == 0, bit28==err flag)
+**	7. Definition of SGL entry (structure)
+**	8. Message1 Out - Diag Status Code (????)
