Correct.

Well, the whole point of the original patch was that we wanted to enable
upper level drivers to interact with the current (SPC-centric) error
handling.

I understand your concern given the recent flurry of device lifetime
issues. But I think the issues my patch tries to tackle are important
enough to warrant the change. And we definitely don't want to start
mucking with block device-specific commands in the generic error
handling path.
