Doh.  It is in your best interest to get the interrupts working...

I would suggest instrumenting the code in the driver that actually
handles the block request from the kernel.  For instance, is the request
being received by the xsa_thread?  Is the driver actually making a
request to the device.  And most importantly and where I suspect your
problem lies, is the xsa_complete_request() ever getting run?
