[PATCH 05/17] hpsa: do not read from controller unnecessarily incompletion code

From: Stephen M. Cameron
Date: Tue May 01 2012 - 12:42:30 EST


From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

MSI/MSI-X interrupts can't race the DMA completion they are communicating
so no need to read from controller to flush the DMA to the host if
MSI or MSI-X interrupts are being used.
