Fixes & Enhancements

1. During heavy I/O in the cluster environment Driver used to stall the CPU for 3 min in a tight loop when it received the reset command from the OS. Due to this system used to freeze and cluster failover did not happen. As a fix instead of the tight loop in the reset path driver added a timer routine which will periodically invoked and it will calculate the actual system time elapsed from the start of the issuing of reset and if it is more than 3 min it will make the adapter dead as previously.

2. If a logical drive is failed driver did not exposed it to the OS this results in a mismatch in the logical drive mapping between OS and RAID Management utilities. This driver will expose the failed logical drive to the OS but complete the failed IO request to with proper status information. This will fix the mismatch issue.

3. Support added for PERC 4e/Si,PERC 4e/Di,PERC 4e/DC, PERC 4e/SC.
