ahci: switch from 'threaded' to 'hardirq' interrupt handling
For high frequency I/O the overhead of threaded interrupts impacts performance. A quick out-of-the-box test (i.e. no affinity tuning) shows ~10% random read performance at ~20% less cpu. The cpu wins appear to be from reduced lock contention. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
