OK, this is indicating an inherent problem in using the shared tag maps.
I talked a bit with Jens and we think there's a way to eliminate most of
this and collapse it down to a simple SCSI helper.  I'll post the two
patches separately, but basically when its done your slave alloc should
become a simple scsi_activate_tcq().
