    scsi: mpt3sas: Add persistent trigger pages support · aec93e8e

    The user can set trigger values in order to collect the IOC's host trace
    buffer automatically upon detecting certain conditions. However, the
    trigger values that the user sets are not persistent across system reboot
    or reload of the driver.
    
    In order to make the user trigger settings persistent, these trigger values
    need to be saved in the IOC's NVRAM pages:
    
     - Driver Persistent Trigger Page 0:
         This page is used to store list of trigger types that are enabled
    
     - Driver Persistent Trigger Page 1:
         This page stores the list of Master triggers that are enabled
    
     - Driver Persistent Trigger Page 2:
         This page stores the list of MPI Event Triggers that are enabled
    
     - Driver Persistent Trigger Page 3:
         This page stores the list of SCSI Sense Triggers that are enabled
    
     - Driver Persistent Trigger Page 4:
         This page stores the list of IOCStatus-LogInfo Triggers that are
         enabled.
    
    Whenever user configures triggers, the driver persists the values in the
    corresponding trigger pages. When the driver is subsequently reloaded, the
    driver reads the values from the trigger pages and configures the triggers
    accordingly.
    
    During firmware upload operation, if the newer firmware supports the
    trigger page feature, then driver persists the configured diag trigger
    values to NVRAM.
