The mega_sas driver provides support for LSI's MegaRAID SAS cards and exists in 
the Open side of the OpenSolaris tree as of build 88 
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008041401/). The 
code is provided under the 3 clause BSD license.

We would like to establish an OpenSolaris project for mega_sas to continue 
development, with storage-discuss as the proposed discussion list.

Our initial goals for mega_sas are around hardening and configuration 
management:

- adding FMA support
- make it warlock-clean
- make it work with cfgadm(1M)
- driver cleanup:
  - changes to make it lint clean,
  - removal of un-needed code, and
  - use of #defines rather than hard-coded constants

Our longer-term goals are:

- add power management support
- add hotplug support
- add 64bit DMA support
- migrate memory allocation to use kmem caches, and
- add kstats

This project will be associated with the Storage Community.

Initial project leaders:
James McPherson, Sun (jmcp)
Susan Scheufele, Sun  (susans)
Yongfeng Du, Sun (dolpher)
