It'll probably be better to wait for me to say "ok, I'm happy, and sending
the stuff" before doing that.

I've just re-diffed and cleaned up all my scsi patches to date, and
split them up into logical blocks:

01-scsi-cmd-retry-1.diff
01-scsi-cmd-retry-2.diff
01-scsi-cmd-retry-3.diff
02-scsi-cmd-report.diff
03-scsi-restart-ops.diff
04-scsi-door-lock-1.diff
04-scsi-door-lock-2.diff

I've updated the command retry patches to catch a couple of re-setup
places I'd missed in scsi_error.c.

I've also incorporated Patricks concern about breaking out of the
restart loop when we hit a device with the "device_blocked" flag
set.  In this case, I think we should still call the request function;
the request function performs its own "device blocked" check, so putting
such a check here would just be a needless duplicate.

I'll put the patches up on ftp.linux.org.uk later today.

I'll also be asking Alan Cox at some point in the future if he'd mind
dropping them into his tree for further testing, before sending them
to Marcelo.

(Oh, and in case anyone hasn't realised yet, I'm not on linux-scsi.)
