Is the result of this patch that the drive is no more visible for the user
and he can't follow the formatting progress?
I think a better option is to fix the kernel to handle formatting devices better
or harden the hpsa so it can cope with TURs or reads (ignore) from a formatting device.
Also maybe a cmd_special_free is missing - see below
