Out of interest, what systems are you seeing mismatches on?  Most of the 
ones I've seen are on LSI1068* SAS controllers (with SATA drives, but 
not sure if that counts for anything, don't use many SAS drives) 
including the Dell SAS5* and SAS6* series.  I suspect there are some 
corner cases where they corrupt data on disk.  Should open a kernel.org 
bug really, so that LSI can ignore the issue in public...

Tim.
