driver should still be used.
+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.
