Putting the issue at hand aside, I'm not really sure if using SCSI EH for
suspending the controller is a good idea.  It seems overly complicated and
it doesn't match the new PCI suspend model with separate ->suspend(),
->freeze() and ->poweroff() callbacks.  Moreover, the passing of pm_message_t
back and forth doesn't make things clear either.

Would it be possible to rework this thing entirely at one point?
