These patches all had their tabs replaced with spaces.  I fixed them up.

Please always run checkpatch on all patches.  checkpatch found this:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis
#182: FILE: drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.h:586:
+#define MFI_GEN2_ENABLE_INTERRUPT_MASK         0x00000001 | 0x00000004

which is a potential source of bugs.  I queued a patch to fix that also.
