>Description:
	If an sd device is detached and has pending I/O operations the
	function scsi_kill_pending() is called to kill them off.
	But this function does not seem to make any progress, it just
	sits in its while loop calling scsipi_done for the first
	scsipi_xer over and over again.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Detach a disk that is doing I/O.  Watch it die.
>Fix:
	Dunno.
