Sorry for the late report but this patch messes up things for kexec -
rebooting is delayed with the error messages as shown in the fuzzy
screen image here:

http://www.users.on.net/~arthur.marsh/20150910541.jpg

(the error messages are similar to what I was seeing on boot-up before
Jiang Liu's patch)

and the SCSI card is not recognised by the kernel after a kexec restart,
and eata fails to load.

Arthur.
