Version 6.806.08.00-1 - Moderate Impact/Low Probability of Occurrence
-------------------
Fixes:
- Incorporated MegaRAID 6.6 x86/x86_64 Linux driver stream
- Fixed an issue where performance may drop in sequential read 256kb IO (SCGCQ00677516)
- Fixed an issue which may lead to firmware crash and "MonTask: line 1257 in file ../../raid/2108vI2o.c" error in firmware log (SCGCQ00702536)

Features/enhancements:
- Added a retry of IO commands as LDIO if raid map sync is failed with MFI_STAT_CONFIG_SEQ_MISMATCH (SCGCQ00651680)
