process_oq() is called from the interrupt handler pm8001_chip_isr()
with interrupts disabled.

drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c
4301 spin_lock_irqsave(&pm8001_ha->lock, flags);
4302 pm8001_chip_interrupt_disable(pm8001_ha);
4303 process_oq(pm8001_ha);
4304 pm8001_chip_interrupt_enable(pm8001_ha);
4305 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pm8001_ha->lock, flags);

Probably we should just be doing a spin_lock() and spin_unlock()
without re-enabling the IRQs. Should we even be doing that in the
irq handler anyway?
