Interrupt Coalescing

Interrupt coalescing allows the firmware on the Fusion-MPT device to
group I/Os together in order to minimize the overhead to the host system.
This feature can result in significant performance benefits when I/Os are
coming into the adapter rapidly—for example, when performing small
sequential reads from a disk.

LSI Logic has tested interrupt coalescing under multiple I/O conditions
and has determined that the following interrupt coalescing values are
beneficial over a wide range of I/O conditions:

timeout = 160 microseconds
