[SCSI] megaraid_sas: new template defined to represent each type of controllers
This patch defines a new template to represent each type of
controllers (identified by the processor used). The template has
members that is set with appropriate values during driver
initialisation. This change is done to support new controllers with
minimal change to existing code. In future, for a new controller
support, a template will be declared and its members initialised
appropriately.

+i. New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
+ The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.
