[PATCH v3 00/10] smartpqi man page updates

[Don Brace <don.brace@microchip.com>]

These patches are based the man page content found in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git

The Linux man page smartpqi.4 is out-of-date with the man page provided
by our out-of-box driver. This patch series brings the Linux man page up
to date.

The changes are:
smarpqi-update-copyright-and-email-addresses
    The copyright, email, and URLs have changed to Microchip.
smartpqi-update-module-parameter-descriptions
    We changed some descriptions of some of our module parameters.
    Clarifies what their default values are.
smartpqi-add-module-parameter_disable_managed_interrupts
    We added a new module parameter to allow users to disable how
    interrupts are managed allowing them to change affinity.
smartpqi-add-module-parameter_ctrl_ready_timeout
    We added a new module parameter to allow users to change how
    long the driver waits for the controller becomes ready. The
    default is 180 seconds and can be changed from 30-1800 seconds.
    The longer wait times are useful for large configurations.
smartpqi-update_FILES_section
    Minor change to the FILES section. The word "Logical" was changed to
    "Disk" since HBA disks are also supported.
smartpqi-update-host-attribute-descriptions
    Updated the descriptions of existing host attributes accessed through
    sysfs.
smartpqi-update-device-attribute-descriptions
    Updated the descriptions of existing device attributes accessed through
    sysfs.
smartpqi-add-host-attributes
    We added some new host attributes:
       enable_stream_detection: For RAID5/6 sequential write operations, this
             can help increase IOPS. Reduces Read/Modify/Write operations.
             This is for AIO capable devices. (Volumes consisting of non-rotating
             media).
       enable_r5_writes: Send down RAID 5 write operations down the AIO path.
       enable_r6_writes: Send down RAID 6 write operations down the AIO path.
smartpqi-add-device-attributes
    We added some new device attributes:
       lunid - SCSI LUN ID
       unique_id - 16-byte ID that uniquely identifies the device within the controller.
       path_info - Host:Bus:Target:Lun (h:b:t:l), device type, Active/Inactive
       raid_bypass_cnt - Count of the number of request sent down the AIO path.
       sas_ncq_prio_enable - Enables SATA NCQ priority support.
smartpqi-add-sg-entry-to-see_also
    Simple addition of the sg(4) driver to the SEE ALSO section.

Changes since V2:
    Resending due to bad e-mail address for maintainer.

Changes since V1:
    Broke up the large patch into multiple smaller patches due to review by:
