[SCSI] aacraid: 17 element sg performance update
Received From Mark Salyzyn. The Jaguar and Corsair class of adapters (2410, 2810, 2610, 21610, CERC) perform better (about 10% better read performance, write performance neutral) with current Firmware if the OS limits the number of scatter gather elements to 17 per request.
