Well, actually, sleeping with interrupts disabled is only a minor bug. 
Assuming they'll be disabled when you return from a sleep is the major
bug because if you take the host lock again without disabling
interrupts, you'll deadlock on a SCSI interrupt.

Regardless, this patch doesn't look right.  Flags contains interrupt
state.  If you actually go around the for loop, you set the state
unconditionally to disabled because of the

			spin_lock_irq(ha->host->host_lock);
			spin_lock_irqsave(&ha->hardware_lock, flags);
