Does this also mean low level driver will be responsible for taking action on
the basis of the sense data coming back from the device ?

Doug,
I assume from your message that you are removing the call from
scsi_unjam_host to do request sense (which is good).
Does this imply that your reworking all of the eh handling in
scsi_error.c?
I was doing some rework in this area, but it sounds like it might
be counter to your work.
