RE: Timeout values for SCSI requests

[Charles Monia <cmonia@NishanSystems.com>]

Hi:

It's a lot simpler to have the host class driver set and enforce such
timeouts (the class driver is that part of the host I/O stack responsible
for device-specific I/O operations, such as REWIND).  There's not much value
in burdening the logical unit with the enforcement chore.
