This patch resolves direct memory access (DMA) issues on LSI 1078 and 106XE SAS HBAs.

A hardware issue in LSI 1078 chip-based controllers results in the improper mapping of the DMA address, which results in data corruption.
LSI 106XE controllers (SAS1064E and SAS1068E, B1 and earlier revisions) are not able to perform DMA for addresses beyond 4GB.

Based on VMware KB 1003447
