In the OCZ RevoDrive3/zDrive R4 series, the "OCZ SuperScale Storage
Controller" with "Virtualized Controller Architecture 2.0" really seems
to be a Marvell 88SE9485 part, with OCZ firmware/BIOS.

Developed and tested on OCZ RevoDrive3 120GB [PCI 1b85:1021]

Should work on:
- OCZ RevoDrive3 (2x SandForce 2281)
- OCZ RevoDrive3 X2 (4x SandForce 2281)
- OCZ zDrive R4 CM84 (4x SandForce 2281)
- OCZ zDrive R4 CM88 (8x SandForce 2281)
- OCZ zDrive R4 RM84 (4x SandForce 2582)
- OCZ zDrive R4 RM88 (8x SandForce 2582)

All of this because a friend recently bought a OCZ RevoDrive3 and was
bitten by the lack of Linux support.

Notes from testing:
-------------------
- SMART works.
- VPD Device Identification is "OCZ-REVODRIVE3"
- Thin provisioning/TRIM seems to be implemented as WRITE SAME UNMAP,
   with deterministic (non-zero) read after TRIM, but I'm not sure if it
   works 100% in my testing.
- Some of the tuning in the firmware seems to ensure much better
   performance when in a RAID0 setup than using the two devices
   seperately.

I have not tested booting from the SSD, because all of this was
developed and tested remotely from the actual hardware.

    The vendor ID macros in this file are sorted by the ID value (except 
Xen, it seems).
