I'm not sure this is the right direction to go. Now that Jeff's done the pushdown and put in the compatibility macros, I don't think it makes sense to do another partial transition on each driver. Much better to take our time, analyse each driver thoroughly, and kill the DEF_SCSI_QCMD in each driver without introducing IRQ_DISABLE_SCSI_QCMD.
Agreed... DEF_SCSI_QCMD was intended, as you note, to encourage a piecemeal, in-depth approach to cleaning up the rest of the drivers. Hopefully DEF_SCSI_QCMD removal means someone actually figured out [or already knew] the locking for a driver, and created the most appropriate patch, rather than another half-step.
