DESCRIPTION
iprinit is used to setup IBM Power RAID adapters and devices for optimal performance. It will enable U320 scsi speeds if it is determined
the disk enclosure supports it. It will also enable tagged command queuing. Any scsi bus attributes, such as bus width, or disk
attributes, such as queue depth, that have been setup by iprconfig will be loaded as well. It is desired that this be called in the boot
process, using the init.d script provided.

--debug
Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.
--daemon

--use-polling
Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for adapter and device configuration changes.
--use-uevents

used until the first uevent notification appears, then netlink will be used.
