Summary:                    alsamixer crashes system when snd-ioctl32 is loaded
Description: 
alsamixer crashes system hard when snd-ioctl32 is loaded.
System still responds to some sysrq commands (sync remount boot show) -
sysrq (term killall) has no effect.
There's no chance to do any other keyboard input. No logs, no traps, no
oops. Machine still responds to ping,(even port 22 stays open) but login
via ssh is not possible. 

alsamixer, of course, is useless without the ioctl32 wrapper loaded - but
does not crash the system then.
So I suspect a problem in the ioctl32 wrapper.

Just an update to say that this is still valid up through 2.6.7-bk12

KERNEL_DS will always cause a SPARC64 machne to hang.
