I suppose so. I misunderstood how this worked. I guessed that the
DMA API debugging was the culprit because its introduction coincided
with the recent onset of this oops.

Although usbmon does essentially illegal tricks to look at data
already mapped for DMA, the code used to work for a few releases.
Bisecting may help. I cannot be sure of it though, and it's
going to take a lot of reboots.

Unfortunately, although I have an Opteron, the issue does not
occur here, so I'm at a loss for the moment. But I'll have to
tackle it somehow. Not sure how though. Any suggestions are welcome.
