Isn't that how all bottom halves work?

Yes, I've tested that particular code. I'm pretty sure Michael has too.

A quick search turned up another example of this in 
zfcp_fsf_fcp_cmnd_handler().

> Shouldn't we enable interrupts before calling scsi_done() ?

I don't see anything in the scsi_done() implementation in scsi_lib.c that 
would be problematic. The description says "This function is interrupt 
context safe". The same would have to apply to scsi_eh_done().
