Ok, that makes sence.  Looking a bit deeper (using diff like I
should have from the start) it appears the majority of the changes
are to the known quirks list, and the 4.9 scsi_da.c doing a bit more
testing on certain ops.  Near as I can tell at this point, 99% of my
troubles with my USB HD are in scsi_da, so I'm going to work on just
getting that up to date and see if that gets that issue delt with.
Thanks for the pointer!
