serialize_io=1 should not degrade stability. It probably just
degrades the performance by an unknown degree.

The driver developers once decided that serialize_io=0 is the
better default for most situations.

Yes, serialize_io=1 prevents potential problems. Again, AFAIK the
root of such a problem could be buggy devices (then there is no
alternative to manually enable serialize_io=1) or buggy drivers
(then the ideal course of action would be try to debug this
together with the people at linux1394-devel... which might be
very difficult because such problems usually cannot be reproduced
on different equipment).
