Right. The LLD has LU busy flags to prevent a LU from being issued more 
than one command.

It seemed harmless and it is consistent with the all of the other 5380 
drivers.

I don't know why it was done that way. Perhaps it was done to create a 
pipeline. That is, to keep a small number of commands in the LLD issue 
queue so that the NCR5380_main() work item does not have to terminate and 
then get requeued needlessly.
