There's still something not quite right.  I applied your patch and it
fixed the booting problem but an attempt to mount a scsi drive locked up
the kernel good and proper, no heartbeat, no caps lock led.

I've added some printks to the scsi driver around the cache_push/clear and
(__)get_free_pages calls,  now I can mount and access the drive - at
least on two boots - odd.

(note the 53c7xx.c/A4091/CVPPC never worked really well, OK on slow CDs
and ZIP drives but work it hard on a pair of hard drives and it would hang
up sooner or later).

I'll keep poking around.
