Ok, I think I've got it.  trans_support is uninitialized in
hpsa_put_ctlr_into_performant_mode().  The compiler was warning about
this during my git bisect, which I should have picked up on because
I'm sure that the patches which I made were not giving me warnings
in my code base.  I diffed from my code base and immediately I see
the missing code.  Not sure what happenned to the code that
initializes that, but in any case a patch to fix it will be
following shortly.
