scsi error handling and ACPI suspend

scsi error handling and ACPI suspend

[random1]

The power-management code in 2.5 presently signals all running threads
in an attempt to make them reach a quiescent state so that it can
write to disk without fighting with them over kernel resources.

When the error handler is signalled, it wakes up and exits.  On
resume, there is no error handler, and the system panics near
scsi_error.c:233

The recommended solution is to set the PF_IOTHREAD flag for the error
handler threads, which indicates that suspend should not try to stop
them.
