Hi Brian,

I had a chance to use pseudo-I/O system, I tested your patch and
it worked fine.
First, I set the value of timeout to 10 seconds.
Then I accessed the device which doesn't respond to the command.
10 seconds later, scsi midlayer detected timeout and issued abort
task message.

Since we consider the early change of broken device/path, this patch
is very useful.

Thanks,
Masao Fukuchi
