Hi Bart!

Sorry this took so long. I have made several attempts at automatically
retrying commands originating from within SCSI since the lack of retries
is a general problem.

However, in the end I prefer the approach of describing the specific
conditions we want handled using scsi_failure at each call site. Works
well.

FWIW, I find the use of "passthrough" to describe commands issued by the
SCSI layer quite confusing.
