Mark Haverkamp bed30de47b [SCSI] aacraid: interupt mitigation
Received from Mark Salyzyn from Adaptec:

If more than two commands are outstanding to the controller, there is no
need to notify the adapter via a PCI bus transaction of additional
commands added into the queue; it will get to them when it works through
the produce/consumer indexes.

This reduced the PCI traffic in the driver to submit a command to the
queue to near zero allowing a significant number of commands to be
turned around with no need to block for the PCI bridge to flush the
notify request to the adapter.

Interrupt mitigation has always been present in the driver; it was
turned off because of a bug that prevented one from realizing the
usefulness of the feature. This bug is fixed in this patch.
