I'm not sure what to think of this patch, but it seems like most of the code to
do something like this might be better off in scsi core so that other LLDDs can
also make use of it.

What is the problem that you are trying to solve with this patch? Are you
trying to do something like NAPI where you are getting too many interrupts
so this is a performance problem, or is this to work around some hardware
problem of interrupts not working properly in certain configurations?

Incidentally, there was a discussion on a similar topic on linux-ide today:
