From f35b5e7c066a41f60683d2689e52a1336479913b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Beregalov Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:00:54 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] sata_sx4: speed up ECC initialization ECC initialization takes too long. It writes zeroes by portions of 4 byte, it takes more than 6 minutes on my machine to initialize 512Mb ECC DIMM module. Change portion to 128Kb - it significantly reduces initialization time.
