From: "Salyzyn, Mark" Miquel van Smoorenburg forwarded me this fix to resolve a deadlock condition that occurs due to the API change in 2.6.13+ kernels dropping the host locking when entering the error handling. They all end up calling adpt_i2o_post_wait(), which if you call it unlocked, might return with host_lock locked anyway and that causes a deadlock.
