Hi,
I've pulled a number of upstream commits for the megaraid_sas driver which add
support for the Perc 740/840 RAID controllers to the Stretch kernel.

Successfully tested with a H840 on a current Dell PowerEdge R440 and I've also tested
the built kernel on a system which was previously supported by the megaraid_sas
driver (LSI MegaRAID SAS 2008 (Perc H310 Mini)) and that continues to work fine
as well.

Test debs (I'd appreciate more tests on MegaRAID controllers, the 740 should be
identical to the 840 except that it allows for less drives) are at
https://people.debian.org/~jmm/perc/

Merge request at https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/61

Cheers,
        Moritz
