Hi Greg and Ben,
Please consider
9bc3711cbb67 [SCSI] hpsa: Fix problem with MSA2xxx devices
for application to next week's 3.0.y, 3.2.y, and 3.3.y trees.
As Steven Williamson noticed[1], without this patch:

He tested this patch + fda38518f236 "[SCSI] hpsa: add P2000 to list of

2.6.32.y-based kernel and found:

Stephen, are any other patches from the series at [2] or elsewhere
candidates for inclusion in stable trees?
Thanks and hope that helps,

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
