Changes from 5.26
===================

1. During Logical drives creation/deletion through OpenManage Array Manager, 
   OpenManage Array Manager, used to hang as it keeps on waiting for the 
   notification of the drive created/removed. This issue has been resolved in 
   the driver by sending notification to the system manager about the 
   arrival/removal of a logical drives.

2. A bug fixed in the Read/Write path with PAE support enabled.

3. Miniport driver was scanning Qlogic Chips for CERC controllers. This problem was 
   causing the driver to scan for the Qlogic chips during boot up or during 
   hibernation, which was resulting in the system hang.  This problem has been fixed 
   by disabling scan of Qlogic chips for the CERC controllers.

4. In case of a reset, the driver was not able to complete all outstanding commands
   to the OS, resulting in a lockup of the system. This is fixed by purging all the 
   outstanding commands with the driver. The OS will retry those commands  
   and system will not lockup

5. Support for legacy functions has been added. The new driver will return success
   if it supports Random Delete operation. This has been done so that the driver
   does not hang if the Firmware does not support Random Delete.
