Changes look fine, but I was wondering if we could also add a note
about the new concurrency rules:

+	CONCURRENCY: at most one thread per separate eh_work_q to
+                    keep queue manipulation lockless

And the same addition in

   4. EH Completes

Probably

    ACTION: scsi_eh_flush_done_q() retries scmds or notifies upper
	    layer of failure. May be called concurrently but must have
            a no more than one thread per eh_work_q to manipulate the
            queue locklessly
