I'm ready to ship the SCSI tree with Jens' enabler now. However, can I
have more time to test the proposed fix? The SCSI code has four other
queue cases that the aacraid problem didn't hit but which my test
harness does. I'm worried that yesterday I saw the hang where Mark got
a crash.

The workaround is simply to boot the kernel with elevator=deadline.
