This looks like a good start, but why would we make this FC specific?

Because James B. said so :-)

No, seriously:
You would need to revisit the good old SCSI parallel LLDDs to figure out if this approach works for them. Eg aic7xxx basically has to stop the entire HBA even for an abort as it has to look through its internal queues etc to locate the command.
So for them it wouldn't make much difference.
Plus no-one has the knowledge nor the equipment to check _all_ SPI LLDDs to ensure this will work for them.

Cheers,

Hannes
