Simialar to the previous bug fix, this patch avoids inifinite retries. This is replicated in Vmware environment when the guest OS is using the 53c1030 as a emulated storage controller. This patch will restore original driver behavior for SPI from about a year ago, though keeping same behavor for FC/SAS for which it solved a failover issue.
