+The "hpsa_simple_mode=1" boot parameter may be used to prevent the driver from
+putting the controller into "performant" mode.  The difference is that with simple
+mode, each command completion requires an interrupt, while with "performant mode"
+(the default, and ordinarily better performing) it is possible to have multiple

+  The transport_mode indicates whether the controller is in "performant"
+  or "simple" mode.  This is controlled by the "hpsa_simple_mode" module
+  parameter.
+
+  The "resettable" read-only attribute indicates whether a particular
+  controller is able to honor the "reset_devices" kernel parameter.  If the
+  device is resettable, this file will contain a "1", otherwise, a "0".  This
+  parameter is used by kdump, for example, to reset the controller at driver
+  load time to eliminate any outstanding commands on the controller and get the
+  controller into a known state so that the kdump initiated i/o will work right
+  and not be disrupted in any way by stale commands or other stale state
+  remaining on the controller from the previous kernel.  This attribute enables
+  kexec tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a device which is
+  unable to honor the reset_devices kernel parameter as a dump device.
