* Here is first draft of mpt2sas for your review and comment.
This is new scsi lld device driver supporting the SAS 2.0 standard.
This driver source sits in the scsi-ml tree.
(We went with new device driver due to major changes in the driver-firmware transport interface)

* Here is list of new 6gb host controllers:

LSI SAS2004 - Spitfire
LSI SAS2008 - Falcon
LSI SAS2108 - Liberator
LSI SAS2116 - Meteor
