This needs to be before the printf_debug call.

Is it safe / reasonable / a good idea to sleep for 35 seconds in the EH
handler? I'm not that familiar with how the EH code works. It has its
own thread, so I suppose that's OK.

Are the driver's data structures still intact after a reset?

I generally prefer not to be so perlish in conditionals, ie:

if ((np->s.device->error_state != pci_channel_io_normal) &&
(np->s.device->error_state != 0) {
int timed_out = wait_for_completion_timeout(
&np->s.io_reset_wait, WAIT_FOR_PCI_RECOVERY*HZ);
if (!timed_out)
return SCSI_FAILED;
}

Why is the condition so complicated though? What does 0 mean if it's
not io_normal? At least let's hide that behind a convenience macro:

if (abnormal_error_state(np->s.device->error_state)) {
...
}

The cryptic names in this routine are actually register names. Calling
a counter 'icnt' is unhelpful (rather than fitting in with the style).
Just 'i' will do.

Though, since INB and INW will return 0xff and 0xffff, why not use that
as our test rather than using a counter?

if (sist == 0xffff && dstat == 0xff) {
if (abnormal_error_state(np->s.device->error_state)
return;
}
