This is basically a duplicate of what's in pm80xx_hwi.h, which looks a
bit ungainly ... couldn't they be unified? Additionally, it does seem
we could add a #define to the definition in scsi/sas.h to omit the crc
field and allow you to use its definition for both drivers rather than
having to duplicate it like this.
