kexec kernel failed to restart aacraid device

[Joe Jin]

Hi,

When try to kdump via sysrq-trigger, found kernel hung when 
try to restart aacraid device, kernel print below messages:

  Loading aacraid.ko
  AAC0:  adapter kernel faile to start, init status = 0.

Normally startup, got following message what related the devices:

  Adaptec aacraid driver 1.1-5[2461]

  AAC0: monitor 4.2-0[8208]

Readed driver's codes found if ignore restart device at _aac_rx_init():

Changed
	if ((((status & 0x0c) != 0x0c) || aac_reset_devices || reset_devices) && 
		!aac_rx_restart_adapter(dev, 0))

to 
	if ((aac_reset_devices || reset_devices) && 
		!aac_rx_restart_adapter(dev, 0))

and get rid of reset_devices from kdump command line, kexec kernel could
bootup kernel normally, kdump would dump vmcore, looked like it caused by 
aac_rx_restart_adapter() could not restart devices, it made kdump kernel 
could not go on.

Any idea will appreciate~

Thanks,
Joe
