I don't yet understand all the code but I'm following your discussion
with Tejun: I've set up a minimal vm running gentoo with a mpt2sas
driven controller in passthrough mode. I've applied your proposed patch
against the vanilla 3.5.0 kernel (which includes Tejun's commit), and
I'm happy to report the problem does seem to get fixed by it.
Well at least sending the sata drive in standby using 'hdparm -y' now
works (according to 'hdparm -C') without these nasty i/o errors on later
i/o. That is to say the drive wakes up again (e.g. from a 'fdisk -l
/dev/sda' command) and returns data.
