+### Version 2.00.3
+Wed Jan 29 09:13:44 EST 200 - Atul Mukker <atulm@lsil.com>
+i. Change the handshake in ISR while acknowledging interrupts. Write the
+ valid interrupt pattern 0x10001234 as soon as it is read from the
+ outdoor register. In existing driver and on certain platform, invalid
+ command ids were being returned.
+
+ Also, do not wait on status be become 0xFF, since FW can return this
+ status in certain circumstances.
+
+ Initialize the numstatus field of mailbox to 0xFF so that we can wait
+ on this wait in next interrupt. Firmware does not change its value
+ unless there are some status to be posted
+
+ii. Specify the logical drive number while issuing the RESERVATION_STATUS
+
+iii. Reduce the default mailbox busy wait time from 300us to 10us. This is
+ done to avaoid a possible deadlock in FW because of longer bust waits.
+
+iv. The max outstanding commands are reduced to 126 because that't the
+ safest value on all FW.
+
+v. Number of sectors per IO are reduced to 128 (64kb), becuase FW needs
+ resources in special circumstances like check consistency, rebuilds
+ etc.
+
+vi. max_commands is no longer a module parameter because of iv.
+

+ is completed.
