[PATCH 37/71] ncr5380: Standardize work queueing algorithm

[Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au>]

[-- Attachment #1: atari_NCR5380-main_running-and-queue_main --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6330 bytes --]

The complex main_running/queue_main mechanism is peculiar to
atari_NCR5380.c. It isn't SMP safe and offers little value given that
the work queue already offers concurrency management. Remove this
complexity to bring atari_NCR5380.c closer to NCR5380.c.

It is not a good idea to call the information transfer state machine from
queuecommand because, according to Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt
that could happen in soft irq context. Fix this.
