suspicious comment in mesh.c and mac53c94.c

[Daniel Eisenbud]

Both of the SCSI drivers for which the complete SCSI lockup upon trying
to burn a CD in DAO mode have been reported have the following comment
at the top (that's mesh.c and mac53c94.c, BTW.)

/*
 * To do:
 * - handle aborts correctly
 * - retry arbitration if lost (unless higher levels do this for us)
 */

Does anyone here understand the implications of this?  Is it plausibly
related to the lockups?  Both drivers appear to have been written by
Paul Mackerras -- is he active on these lists these days, or should I
contact him directly?
