Noriyuki Fujii aeab3fd7b8 [SCSI] megaraid_sas: make driver PCI legacy I/O port free driver
On the large servers, I/O port resource may not be assigned to all
the PCI devices since it is limited (to 64KB on Intel Architecture[1])
and it may also be fragmented (I/O base register of PCI-to-PCI bridge
will usually be aligned to a 4KB boundary[2]).
If no I/O port resource is assigned to devices, those devices do not
work.

[1] Some machines support 64KB I/O port space per PCI segment.
[2] Some P2P bridges support optional 1KB aligned I/O base.

Therefore, I made a patch for MegaRAID SAS driver to make PCI legacy
I/O port free.  I have also tested the patch and it had no problem.

The way to make PCI legacy I/O port free is the same as Fusion-MPT
driver's and it has been merged into 2.6.30.4.

This has already been fixed in e1000 and lpfc.

As a result of the above, the driver can handle its device even when
there are a huge number of PCI devices being used on the system and no
I/O port region assigned to the device.
