Er, well this is a huge problem then. Even if DMA were stopped, the
registers for all these locations need to be altered to change the
location of the DMA mboxes. This isn't just a SCSI problem, it's a
general device problem (most devices having mboxes programmed by
register). If we can't rely on the resuming kernel setting up these
registers for us to exactly what they were in the resume image, then
we're in a bit of trouble.
Architecturally what you are trying to do is to re POST the SCSI card.
Except it's the kernel's job to POST it, so the kernel init code needs
to be re-run. I assume that's what the pci suspend/resume calls are
supposed to do?
