And the description and diffstat:

commit d5e89385e92a77b2764d9eb8284808a7628cb2a8

    [SCSI] megaraid_old: fix READ_CAPACITY
    
    The bulk transfer mode got eleminated by
    3f6270ef76f2ce5c134615a470685d6c2a66c07e.  Unfortunately, this mode is
    required for READ_CAPACITY commands on certain cards, so put it back
    again.  This fixes a boot failure regression reported by Burton
    Windle.
