Not sure it's related, but it sounds like the hotplug failures being
seen with libsas hotplug.  Have not had a chance yet to track it down
further with isci, but mvsas developer Xiangliang Yu is reporting:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=130707166512002&w=2

He tracked it down to a suspected regression between .39-rc4 and
.39-rc5 but did not finalize the bisect.

The isci driver sees this and other signatures all seemingly related
to early device tear down and only when pulling a drive with in-flight
i/o.
