I found this note yesterday to see why we are not disabling the devices in the
PCI core itself. 

pci_device_remove()

	/*

	 * the driver should have called pci_disable_device(), but the

Ryan, can you discard the previous patch and test this one instead? remove() path
in hpsa driver seems to call pci_disable_device() via 

hpsa_remove_one()
	hpsa_free_pci_init()

but nothing on the shutdown path.

I suspect this will make things "work" (if the device can't attempt
DMA, no Unsupported Request error will occur).

But I'm concerned that the reason for the DMA might that hpsa is
transferring buffers from system memory to the hpsa device, and if we
arbitrarily terminate those transfers with pci_disable_device(), we
may leave the hpsa device in an inconsistent state, e.g., with a dirty
filesystem.

But we really need guidance from an hpsa expert.  I don't know the
filesystem/SCSI/hpsa details.

Agreed,

We can drop shutdown and use the remove callback. Remove is supposed to 
do a safe cleanup.

Can you test V3 instead of this?

I don't think adding pci_disable_device() to shutdown() is enough to put
the HW into safe state. I moved clean  up responsibility to remove() instead
of shutdown().
