This fairly naive patch introduces alloc_cmnd and destroy_cmnd. I'm not
exactly happy about passing down the gfp_mask -- I'd prefer to be able
to allocate scsi_cmnds before we grab the queue_lock (and hence get
rid of the possibility we might need to GFP_ATOMIC), but I don't see
anywhere to do that. Maybe there's a simple change we can make to the
block layer to allow it.
