But I was lead to believe that this has been fixed.
So this suggestion could lead to just nothing.

I've had this happen to me on occasion, switching on verbose booting
then reveiled that some ....._xpt function was trying over and over.

Workaround for me at those points was usually to disable those I/O
device that had nothing connected to it, starting with Firewire/P1394.
Which usually did the trick.
