should be a lot more aggressive at coalescing.

The P5020 has a hardware problem with SATA, making it generate more
interrupts than it should.  A new revision of the silicon will fix it.

Ok cool. With a bit of luck you guys can send me a new silicon when it's
available then :-) (The one in the board you got me seems to be in a
socket).
