Rajashekhara, Mahesh da3cc679b2 [SCSI] aacraid: prohibit access to array container space
Problem description:
--------------------

The issue reported by one of the customer was able to read LBA beyond
the array reported size with "sg_read" utility. If N is the last block
address reported, then should not be able to read past N,
i.e. N+1. But in their case, reported last LBA=143134719.  So should
not have been able to read with LBA=143134720, but it is read without
failure, which means reported size to the OS is not correct and is
less than the actual last block address.

Solution:
---------

Firmware layer exposes lesser container capacity than the actual
one. It exposes [Actual size - Spitfire space(10MB)] to the OS, IO's
to the 10MB should be prohibited from the Linux driver. Driver checks
LBA boundary, if its greater than the array reported size then sets
sensekey to HARDWARE_ERROR and sends the notification to the MID
layer.
