BUG: Kernel Panic: kernel-2.6.1 for alpha in scsi context ll_rw_blk.c

[Thomas Steudten <alpha@steudten.com>]

Hello

I test the new 2.6.1 kernel and run in the same problem as before.
The reason is, that the patch from Ivan isn´t there in the kernel
source tree.

Please add the patch to the mainline.
