Moves quiesce, thread and interrupt shutdown into aacraid drivers' .shutdown handler. This fix to the aac_shutdown handler will remove the superfluous reset of the adapter during a (clean) kexec. This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid broken' but it is unlikely to affect the root cause (issue likely present in both kexec and kdump). This patch reduces the chance the problem will occur with a kexec. The fix for root cause is currently expected to be the minimum value check to the aacraid.startup_timeout driver variable after an adapter reset within aacraid_commit_reset.patch submitted on 05/22/2007 and awaiting testing by Yinghai to confirm. This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's handling of patch attachments.

the kernel with this patch -4 and even without 1. [SCSI] aacraid: superfluous adapter reset for IBM 8 series ServeRAID controllers 2.
