Do you mean in terms of debug after a failure? I can resubmit the patch with the scsi_sense_hdr buffer still in place. I just wanted to keep the first draft simple to get the concept across.

This patch changes the ata_port_resume_common function to be non blocking. The other bottleneck is in the scsi disk resume code, which issues a a command to startup the disk with blk_execute_rq, which then waits for the command to finish (which also depends on the ata port being fully resumed). The patch switches the sd_resume function to use blk_execute_rq_nowait instead (the underlying code is identical to sd_resume, but is changed to non-blocking). But how do we know the command has succeeded?
