+CCISS simple mode support
+-------------------------
+
+The "cciss_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.

SCSI tape drive and medium changer support
