A recent bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9674
Was caused because the ULDs now set their own prep functions, but don't
necessarily reset the prep function back to the SCSI default when they
are removed. This leads to panics if commands are sent to the device
after the module is removed because the prep_fn is still pointing to the
old module code. The fix for this is to implement a bus remove method
that resets the prep_fn pointer correctly before calling the driver
specific prep_fn.

P.S. The patch in the bug report is slightly wrong. It doesn't include
the piece to call the ULD specific remove function.
