4.2.1 generates nearly the same (reasonable) code. The major difference
between the version with printk and the version without is the size
of the local stack. I guess this prevents killing of *cd.
Could you try the hack below and tell me, if it helps ? This hack
ensures, that the buffer given to the scsi driver is one cache
line big (at least on R5k O2s). If this helps, there are more
places to fix for non-coherent machines...
