Re: [mpt3sas driver 06/10] mpt3sas: Added smp_affinity_enable module parameter.

[Suganath Prabu Subramani <suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com>]

Hi Tomas,
Initially, we posted this patch with "zalloc_cpumassk_var" and Robert
has suggested to use "alloc_cpumask_var". Please check the below link.
"http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2068280?do=post_view_threaded#2068280"

We incorporated other review comments for freeing reply_q and
cpumask_var in this patch and sending it soon.

Thanks,
Suganath prabu S
