This sentence needs a verb.

This sentence also needs a verb.

You capitalized as "HBA" above.

This is a good example of why I don't like pci_device_is_present(): it
is fundamentally racy and gives a false sense of security.  Here we
*think* we're making the code safer, but in fact we could have this
sequence:

  mpt3sas_base_pci_device_is_available()    # returns true
  # device is removed
  ioc_state = mpt3sas_base_get_iocstate()

In this case the readl() inside mpt3sas_base_get_iocstate() will
probably return 0xffffffff data, and we assume that's valid and
continue on our merry way, pretending that "ioc_state" makes sense
when it really doesn't.
