No, I do not need PIO. I'll probably need host

Well, take note of what James wrote. We do guarantee that there will be no further user-initiated disk activity after generic_scsi_suspend. (For the disk but not the rest of the bus.) This doesn't apply to ioctl's/special requests but as James has rightly pointed out this is probably not an issue for realistic intents and purposes. It may actually be an advantage.
