Re: mpt(4) timeout recovery improvements
So, to partially answer myself:

I had missed the comprehensive scsipi(9) man page. I guess I mis-typed
"scsipi" when looking for it.

So this has been answered both by me finding that man page and by Brian.

From the man page, I guess this can be prevented by scsipi_channel_freeze()?
> Third question: Do I need to care about xs->xs_callout?
This has also been answerd by bot Brian and me finding the man page.
I didn't realize that mpt(4) did itself set up that callout.
> Or is returning everything to scsipi simply the wrong approach?
Given there is XS_REQUEUE, I now think it's the right approach. But I may
be wrong, of course.
