Subject: [PATCH] megaraid: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug
The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
mraid_mm_attach_buf (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
pci_pool_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, the "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".

This is very old driver and reached EOL. Did you face any issue because of
this bug or discover this through code review?
Anyways patch looks good to me.
