I've been having a hang with 2.6.16.22 and the megasas driver.  I'm pretty
sure it has to do with a smartctl -a <logical drive>.  The SCSI layer gets
all sorts of in a twist.

megasas: waiting for 2 commands to complete
- repeats a bunch of times then -
sd 0:2:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device

Given a bit of wisdom in a driver distributed by dell which mentioned the
controller not responding to a cache inqury...  isn't the correct thing to
do respond with some sort of unsupported response?  not just ignore the
query?

I've hunted around for patches around this problem but haven't found any,
of course "don't use smart against a logical drive" works, but I'm not the
only one using these boxes and it does cause the system to go down.
