Hello Damien,

I think we want to keep the knowledge of which requests have a request size
that should be a multiple of the logical block size in the block layer core
or in the SCSI core but not in the mpt3sas driver. But I'm not sure what the
best approach is to do that. Should we use the request type, should we add a
new request attribute or should we add a new function?

Bart.
