Having talked to the various SCSI folks everyone agreed that calling abort asynchronously shouldn't do any harm. At least as far as the SCSI spec goes. As for documentation: I didn't document it it currently as with my implementation it's pretty much an optional thing. But if we were to enable it globally it surely should be documented. So if there is a consensus I surely can enable it globally and update the documentation. James?
