This will likely fix the adaptec domain validation problem. However, it's not a true fix if the mid-layer is losing commands, it just makes it far less likely to get into that situation. The premise is that domain validation is likely to trigger errors which it wants to know about, so the only time it should be retrying them is when it gets a unit attention (likely as the result of a previous bus or device reset). Ironically, the previous coding retried three times in all cases except those of unit attention. The attached fixes this to do the right thing.
