Merge tag 'scsi-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "Three small fixes.

  The transfer size fixes are actually correcting some performance drops
  on the hpsa and smartpqi cards. The cards actually have an internal
  cache for request speed up but bypass it for transfers > 1MB. Since
  4.3 the efficiency of our merges has rendered the cache mostly unused,
  so limit transfers to under 1MB to recover the cache boost"
