OK.

All relevant system interrupts are at higher priority (5 or 6). Both
timer and SCSI / DMA completion interrupt in particular are at IPL 6 and
won't be blocked when sleeping with IPL == 2. That's what I meant by
'IPL 2 is perfectly OK' below.

With your explanation above, I'm now quite certain your patch will work.
I've not seen deadlocks in softirq context since you rewrote the driver
so it will no more sleep waiting for the ST-DMA lock.

Michael
