A repost of a patch forwarded by Mikael Reed from 2006-12-20.
The fibre channel IOC may kill a request for a variety of
reasons, some of which may be recovered by a retry, some of
which are unlikely to be recovered. Return DID_ERROR
instead of DID_RESET to permit retry of the command,
just not an infinite number of them.
