This was something I considered, but is sadly not enough.  You need
at least two other changes to make it work:

1) scsi_done needs to complete commands regardless of the timer
   state.  The implied race condition commented about in scsi_done()
   doesn't exist.  The HBA driver knows whether a command is in flight
   or not.  Attempting to abort a command that is not active can just
   return immediately with whatever status is agreed upon for the API.
   Without this change, a driver must reschedule bogus timers to get
   a completion to take effect.

2) The driver's must be notified of timeouts immediately.  Your idea
   of re-vectoring the timeout handler would do this just fine.
