I'm not sure what you mean by 'Busy' here, but it doesn't matter I
believe- the  cam_periph_async called with

        case AC_SENT_BDR:  
        case AC_BUS_RESET:
        {
                cam_periph_bus_settle(periph, SCSI_DELAY);
                break;
        }


should do bus settling for SCSI_DELAY. If you're not actually doing a bus
reset, you need to hold off the command with a requeue but only if you
tell it when it can go (I believe- I sure wish Justin would document this
stuff).
