+Current Version : 2.20.4.9 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version   : 2.20.4.8 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1.      Fixed a bug in megaraid_init_mbox().
+        Customer reported "garbage in file on x86_64 platform".
+        Root Cause: the driver registered controllers as 64-bit DMA capable
+        for those which are not support it.
+        Fix: Made change in the function inserting identification machanism
+        identifying 64-bit DMA capable controllers.

+
+2.      When INQUIRY with EVPD bit set issued to the MegaRAID controller,
+        system memory gets corrupted.
+        Root Cause: MegaRAID F/W handle the INQUIRY with EVPD bit set
+        incorrectly.
+        Fix: MegaRAID F/W has fixed the problem and being process of release,
+        soon. Meanwhile, driver will filter out the request.
+
+3.      One of member in the data structure of the driver leads unaligne
+        issue on 64-bit platform.
+        Customer reporeted "kernel unaligned access addrss" issue when
+        application communicates with MegaRAID HBA driver.
+        Root Cause: in uioc_t structure, one of member had misaligned and it
+        led system to display the error message.
+        Fix: A patch submitted to community from following folk.
