I'm agree that queuecommand() executed with disabled interrupts. However
twa_scsiop_execute_scsi() can be called not only from queuecommand. For example,

twa_interrupts (note: with _enabled_ interrupts)
   twa_aen_read_queue
     twa_scsiop_execute_scsi


twa_scsiop_execute_scsi() will not perform the kmap_atomic()/kunmap_atomic()
calls here because it is being used for an internal AEN drain  (cdb
post), i.e. "sglistarg" is non NULL.  See below:

if (!sglistarg) {

 ....
  kmap_atomc()
  kunmap_atomic()

} else {
  /* Internal cdb post */

}

or

twa_chrdev_ioctl
   twa_reset_device_extension
      twa_reset_sequence
         twa_aen_drain_queue
            twa_scsiop_execute_scsi

ditto for this location as well.

Thanks for looking over this code.  If you see anything else suspect,
feel free to let me know.
