SubjectRe: [PATCH RESEND v3 5/6] AHCI: Optimize single IRQ interrupt processing

I think it is difficult to assess "individual interrupt handling", since
it depends from both the hardware and device access pattern. On the system
I use the results are rather counter-intuitive: ahci_thread_fn() does not
show up in perf report at all, nor ahci_single_irq_intr(). While before
the change ahci_single_irq_intr() reported 0.00%.

But since the handling is split in two parts it is rather incorrect to
apply the same metric to the threaded context. Obviously, the threaded
handler is expected slowed down by other interrupts handlers, but the
whole system should benefit from it, which is exactly the aim of this
change.
