I tested this series on top of the current Linus tree. All look good. As 
ususal, I hammered an SMR drive connected to a pm80xx adapter and 
generated lots of invalid commands to check EH. No issues that I can see.
E.g., an unaligned write error look like this:

[ 5384.194853] pm80xx0:: mpi_sata_event 2685: SATA EVENT 0x23
[ 5384.238720] sas: Enter sas_scsi_recover_host busy: 1 failed: 1

So looks good to me.
