This trace doesn't make sense to me.  A null EIP usually indicates
jumping through a NULL function pointer.  There are no fptr derefs in
scsi_delete_timer.  Also ahc_linux_run_complete_queue doesn't call
scsi_delete_timer.

Could you try to reproduce and get a more meaningful backtrace?

Thanks,

James
