Matthew,
Sorry for the delay in replying (non coding activities are
consuming to many hours).

Yes,
The scsi_set_device_offline will wake up the error handler to abort
outstanding commands.

There still are a few things on the to do list, but should not effect the
LLDD interface (at least this is the goal).
- scsi_request_fn needs a fix for device offline that will
handle all request types.
- scsi_remove_host needs to call template release at the correct
time (ref counting ??).
- need fix for offline hotplug event.
- Should do_hotplug be exported or should device states
be added / fixed ??
Cleanups
- Change scsi_remove_host for int to void function.
