      hunk by hunk:
      - CHECK_CONDITION is what happens to cmnd->status >> 1
        or after status_byte() macro. But here it is used
        directly on status which means 0x1 which is an undefined
        bit in the standard. And is a status that will never
        return from a target.
    
      - in busfree_run at the DONE_SC phase we have 3 distinct
        operation:
    	1-if(DONE_SC->SCp.phase & check_condition)
              The REQUEST_SENSE command return.
              - Restore original command
    	  - Than continue to operation 3.
    	2-if(DONE_SC->SCp.Status==SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION)
              A regular command returned with a status.
    	  - Internally re-Q a REQUEST_SENSE.
    	  - Do not do operation 3.
    	3-
    	  - Complete the command and return it to scsi-ml
         So the 0x2 in both these operations (1,2) means the scsi
         check-condition status, hence SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION
    
      - Here the code asks about !(DONE_SC->SCp.Status & not_issued)
        but "not_issued" is an enum belonging to the "phase" member
        and not to the Status returned from target. The reason this
        works is because not_issued==1 and Also CHECK_CONDITION==1
        (remember from hunk 1). So actually the code was asking
        !(DONE_SC->SCp.Status & CHECK_CONDITION). Which means
        "Has the status been read from target yet?"
        Staus is read at status_run(). "not_issued" is
        cleared in seldo_run() which is usually earlier than
        status_run().
    
      So this patch does nothing as far as assembly is concerned
      but it does let the reader understand what is going on.
