From: Doug Chapman Patch for: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8426 A recent code cleanup that moved code from mptscsih to mptspi inadvertently change the order some code was called. This caused a massive slowdown (of 150x to 300x) on the CD/DVD drive on the high-end HP Integrity servers.
