Thanks for the patch.

Now we have the following situation:

1.) Systems running fine with 2.6.32, 2.6.38 and with 3.1 rc-6 + patch
2.) Sadly it does not run with 3.0.4 for more than 1 hour. And 3.0.X 
will become the next long term stable. So there will be a lot of people 
using it.
3.) I have seen this deadlock on systems with aacraid and with intel 
ahci onboard. (that's all we're using)
4.) I still write to other devices / raids on the same controller while 
the XFS root filesystem hangs.

What can we do / try now / next?

Stefan
