I no longer see disk errors; it looks like the commands are being
retried at some point in the future, as I'd expect.

However, now I periodically see this:

BUG: warning at drivers/ata/libata-core.c:4597/ata_qc_issue()

One cause of this is that sas_ata was writing the aic94xx sequencer's
version of sactive into the libata's ata_port->sactive shadow register.
 Since we now know that aic94xx assigns its own NCQ tags, the solution
is to avoid this copy, since libata manages ata_port->sactive anyway.

Unfortunately, even with that patched up I still see the message, but
only about 10% as frequently as I used to.  I suspect that I haven't the
right locking around ata_sas_queuecmd and ata_qc_complete; I'm testing
that fix overnight.
