It is observed reading the register from HW takes a bit long,
for example in my box, the following difference of 'perf report
--no-children fio ...' can be seen when running I/O:
1) V4.12 without patch
+ 9.28% fio [mtip32xx] [k] mtip_irq_handler
+ 8.48% fio [mtip32xx] [k] mtip_init_cmd_header
2) V4.12 with the following patch
+ 9.14% fio [mtip32xx] [k] mtip_irq_handler
......
+ 1.14% fio [mtip32xx] [k] mtip_init_cmd_header
IOPS can be increased by ~5% with this patch too.
Fixes: a4e84aae8139(mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command header)
