Don't forget to check up on the SCSI error handler. If I'm not
mistaken, the libata drivers use it during suspend and resume. Also,
the error handler will run if one of the REQ_PM commands encounters an
error.

Therefore it seems likely that every request submitted by the error
handler needs to have REQ_PM set.
