Removing the lock entirely and pushing the list into the two drivers
using it is on my TODO list.  Bart actually suggested keeping the code in the
SCSI core and having a flag to enabled.  Given that I'm too busy to get my full
version done in time, it might be a good idea if someone picks up Barts
idea.  Can you send me a patch to add a enable_cmd_list flag to the host
template and only enable it for aacraid and dpt_i2o?
