diffstat will tell.

b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_core.c | 33
b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_osm.c | 559
b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_osm.h | 7
b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_core.c | 24
b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c | 45
b/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.h | 5

There are large numbers of changes to scsi core as well. And MD. And
everything else.

Can no info be obtained from sysrq-P or sysrq-T?

If it's running X then I'd suggest you quit from X overnight, see if
anything pops up on the screen, and to simplify using sysrq.
