Always possible - but.... Our f/w works at the FCP level and

Anytime this has been there in the past, it's been problematic.
if we want to do this - we should add it to the midlayer/transport.
D'accord. Transport layer looks like a good fit.
What we should be doing is hooking up 'bus_reset' to be equivalent
to REMOVE I_T NEXUS (SAS is already doing this).
In our case a REMOVE I_T NEXUS would be roughly equivalent to
scsi_remote_port_delete(); only we should be starting aborting
outstanding I/O directly and not waiting for fast_fail_tmo
to kick in.
I'll be posting a patch.
Cheers,
Hannes
