So if we can't reliably get it right, let's not do it at all. The previous argument you made was about problems with I/O to shutdown PCI devices. That's not SCSI specific, so either we fix it for everything or decide it's not really a problem for anything.
The reference to PCI devices was an example only. As mentioned elsewhere in this email thread, sd_shutdown() does not do what it should do, namely to quiesce I/O. From include/linux/bus.h:
* @shutdown: Called at shut-down time to quiesce the device. Bart.
