The mpt2sas and mpt3sas drivers are spinning forever in

Marking all MSI interrupts as non-shared and moving the
MSI interrupts to thread context. This relexes the rest
of the system execution.
NACK.
If there is a scalability issue when handling interrupts
it should be fixed in the driver directly.
Looking at the driver is should be possible to implement
a worker thread handling the reply descriptor, and having the
interrupt only to fetch the reply descriptor.
I'll take a look.
