You don't seem to provide very useful defaults... for example,
intr_coalescing_count starts at 0 which isn't even in range
(the code fixes that up but still...).

I tried a debian install on the p5020ds here and I find SATA to be
extremely slow, generating millions of interrupts. I think the defaults
should be a lot more aggressive at coalescing.

Cheers,
Ben.
