512 is not enough. It has to be larger. I just tried 512 and it still
limits the data rates.

I have seen an 80GB/sec limitation in the kernel unless this value is

Change these values in include/linux/blkdev.h and performance goes from
80MB/S to over 670MB/S on the 3Ware controller.
//#define BLKDEV_MIN_RQ 4

That's insane, you just wasted 1MiB of preallocated requests on each
queue in the system!
Please just do
# echo 512 > /sys/block/dev/queue/nr_requests
after boot for each device you want to increase the queue size too. 512
should be enough with the 3ware.
