Ming Lei 8a05aa4ce3 mtip32xx: avoid to read HOST_CAP from HW in .queue_rq()
It is observed reading the register from HW takes a bit long,
for example in my box, the following difference of 'perf report
--no-children fio ...' can be seen when running I/O:

1) V4.12 without patch
+    9.28%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_irq_handler
+    8.48%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_init_cmd_header

2) V4.12 with the following patch
+    9.14%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_irq_handler
......
+    1.14%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_init_cmd_header

IOPS can be increased by ~5% with this patch too.

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
