+** ARECA FIRMWARE SPEC
+*******************************************************************************
+** Usage of IOP331 adapter
+** (All In/Out is in IOP331's view)
+** 1. Message 0 --> InitThread message and retrun code
+** 2. Doorbell is used for RS-232 emulation
+** inDoorBell : bit0 -- data in ready
+** (DRIVER DATA WRITE OK)
+** bit1 -- data out has been read
+** (DRIVER DATA READ OK)
+** outDooeBell: bit0 -- data out ready
+** (IOP331 DATA WRITE OK)
+** bit1 -- data in has been read
+** (IOP331 DATA READ OK)
+** 3. Index Memory Usage
+** offset 0xf00 : for RS232 out (request buffer)
+** offset 0xe00 : for RS232 in (scratch buffer)
+** offset 0xa00 : for inbound message code message_rwbuffer
+** (driver send to IOP331)
+** offset 0xa00 : for outbound message code message_rwbuffer
+** (IOP331 send to driver)
+** 4. RS-232 emulation
+** Currently 128 byte buffer is used
+** 1st uint32_t : Data length (1--124)
+** Byte 4--127 : Max 124 bytes of data
+** 5. PostQ
+** All SCSI Command must be sent through postQ:
+** (inbound queue port) Request frame must be 32 bytes aligned
+** #bit27--bit31 => flag for post ccb
+** #bit0--bit26 => real address (bit27--bit31) of post arcmsr_cdb
+** bit31 :
+** 0 : 256 bytes frame
+** 1 : 512 bytes frame
+** bit30 :
+** 0 : normal request
+** 1 : BIOS request
+** bit29 : reserved
+** bit28 : reserved
+** bit27 : reserved
+** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+** (outbount queue port) Request reply
+** #bit27--bit31
+** => flag for reply
+** #bit0--bit26
+** => real address (bit27--bit31) of reply arcmsr_cdb
+** bit31 : must be 0 (for this type of reply)
+** bit30 : reserved for BIOS handshake
+** bit29 : reserved
+** bit28 :
+** 0 : no error, ignore AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
+** 1 : Error, error code in AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
+** bit27 : reserved
+** 6. BIOS request
+** All BIOS request is the same with request from PostQ
+** Except :
+** Request frame is sent from configuration space
+** offset: 0x78 : Request Frame (bit30 == 1)
+** offset: 0x18 : writeonly to generate
+** IRQ to IOP331
+** Completion of request:
+** (bit30 == 0, bit28==err flag)
+** 7. Definition of SGL entry (structure)
+** 8. Message1 Out - Diag Status Code (????)
+** 9. Message0 message code :
+** 0x00 : NOP
+** 0x01 : Get Config
+** ->offset 0xa00 :for outbound message code message_rwbuffer
+** (IOP331 send to driver)

+** (C) Return data : variable length of data
+** --------------------------------------------------------------------
+** 2. Command block
+** --------------------------------------------------------------------
+** (A) 1st byte : command block length (low byte)
+** (B) 2nd byte : command block length (high byte)
+** note ..command block length shouldn't > 2040 bytes,
+** length excludes these two bytes
+** (C) 3rd byte : command code

+** depends on command code
+** (E) last byte : checksum byte (sum of 1st byte until last data byte)
+** --------------------------------------------------------------------
+** 3. Command code and associated data
+** --------------------------------------------------------------------
+** The following are command code defined in raid controller Command
+** code 0x10--0x1? are used for system level management,
+** no password checking is needed and should be implemented in separate
