Since the reporter says that reverting this commit fixes the problem, it
must have caused the problem.  For the benefit of those on linux-scsi
who are just tuning into this report, the original mail is at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/13/250 and the report that reverting this
commit fixes it is a followup to it.

I've stared at the patch, trying to figure out what's wrong.  The only
thing which makes any sense to me is that a request comes in, tagged as
REQ_TYPE_FS.  Later, it becomes REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.  This would have
caused us to call sr_done() before the patch, and after the patch, we
would not call sr_done().  Further eyes are welcome.

James has suggested that the problem may be that ide-scsi does just this.
Thomas, can you confirm whether or not you were using ide-scsi?
