Well, we have what looks like a fix now. The reason it matters is that
if the bus is not in AHD_MODE_SCSI when the routine is called, it ends
up being in a wrong state when the routine exits, so you abort one
command and screw up another. Ultimately I bet escalation to bus reset
fixes it, so everything appears to work, but it might have worked a lot
better if the original mode were restored.

This is error handling code, so most installations run just fine
without ever invoking it.
