The oops is characteristic of the underlying device being removed from
visibility before the class device, and sure enough we do device_del()
before transport_unregister() in the scsi_target_reap() routines.  I've
no idea why this is suddenly showing up, since the code has been in
there since that function was first invented.  However, I've confirmed
this fixes Andrew Vasquez's boot oops.

The following patch prevents libata from incorrectly modifying inquiry
VPD pages and command support data from ATAPI devices.  I have tested
the patch with a SATA ATAPI tape drive on an AHCI controller.

Patch is against kernel 2.4.32 with 2.4.32-libata1.patch applied.

Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl> forwarded me this fix to
resolve a deadlock condition that occurs due to the API change in
2.6.13+ kernels dropping the host locking when entering the error
handling.  They all end up calling adpt_i2o_post_wait(), which if you
call it unlocked, might return with host_lock locked anyway and that
causes a deadlock.

scsi_reap_target() was desgined to be called from any context.
However it must do a device_del() of the target device, which may only
be called from user context.  Thus we have to reimplement
scsi_reap_target() via a workqueue.

In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each
rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete"
workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of
rports that were on the link.

The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(),
which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item,
which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large.

This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it
off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports.

This follows on from Jens' patch and consolidates all of the ULD
separate handlers for REQ_BLOCK_PC into a single call which has his
fix for our direction bug.
