Not sure, after all it makes sense to answer some queries synchronously 
(e.g. TEST_UNIT_READY).  It's just the convoluted control flow that 
tricked you when you moved accesses to after the request has been 
completed.  With reference counting, the data in the SCSIRequest remains 
completely valid after it has been completed and until the last ref goes 
away, so I see no reason to complicate the logic further by introducing 
a BH.
