The "hpsa_simple_mode=1" boot parameter may be used to prevent the driver from
putting the controller into "performant" mode. The difference is that with simple
mode, each command completion requires an interrupt, while with "performant mode"
(the default, and ordinarily better performing) it is possible to have multiple
command completions indicated by a single interrupt.
