[PATCH] sbp2: default to serialize_io=1
Set serialize_io=1 by default. This is safer and required by seemingly more
and more hardware. It causes little or no performance loss for S400 devices.
Performance of S800 1394b devices may drop by 25...30%. Therefore make the
parameter's description and dmesg message clearer about performance impact.
Update description of the max_speed parameter too. IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is
currently S800.
