Doug,
> The SCSI PRE-FETCH (10 or 16) command is present both on hard disks

Next time, commentary and changelog needs to go after the "---"
separator:
> A cleanup of the scsi_io_completion() function in scsi_lib.c has
> been moved out of this patch to its own patchset titled:
> "scsi_io_completion cleanup".
>
>
> ChangeLog to v4 (removing work done in v3 and v2, leaving):
> - expand scsi_status_is_good() to check for CONDITION MET
> - add another corner case in scsi_io_completion() adjacent
> to the one for the RECOVERED ERROR sense key case. That
> is another "non-error"
