[Announce] smp_utils-0.90 available

[Douglas Gilbert]

smp_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending
SMP functions to devices. SMP is the management protocol
for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). Several SAS HBAs have a SMP
pass through interface that can be used to initiate SMP
requests. SMP targets are typically SAS expanders.
This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4
series.

This is the initial version. Two interfaces are available,
the "mptctl" pass through used by MPT Fusion SAS HBAs
and the "smp_portal" sysfs attribute pass through used
by at least one aic94xx based Linux driver.
See the CHANGELOG and README files for more information.
