Subject: [PATCH 59/75] [SCSI] megaraid_sas: megaraid_sas driver init fails in kdump kernel

3.5.7.19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Sumit.Saxena@....com" <Sumit.Saxena@....com>

commit 6431f5d7c6025f8b007af06ea090de308f7e6881 upstream.

Problem: When Hardware IOMMU is on, megaraid_sas driver initialization fails
in kdump kernel with LSI MegaRAID controller(device id-0x73).

Actually this issue needs fix in firmware, but for firmware running in field,
this driver fix is proposed to resolve the issue.  At firmware initialization
time, if firmware does not come to ready state, driver will reset the adapter
and retry for firmware transition to ready state unconditionally(not only
executed for kdump kernel).
