The way that the default 2.2.x driver handles the error
RESERVATION_CONFLICT before this patch is indeed counter productive.
SCSI reservations won't work, and it means that you can't effectively
hook a linux box up to a SAN , because it keeps resetting the bus on
this error. Kudos to the steel-eye team for this patch.
