Before 2.6.37, there's a per-host lock acquired in the scsi layer that
prevents queuecommand being called twice for the same host simultaneously.
If your driver is drivign two cards, then it can still be executing
twice ...  but it's a rare driver that has global instead of per-host
state to protect.
