This might be possible, although nothing changed in the ahc driver since
your previous, working kernel (except for some changes I made yesterday,
but those will only make it more conservative, and were after you got
your source).

So it might be a bit early to put the blame there. However, I did put
a printf in the QUEUE FULL case when I checked in those few changes
I made yesterday, so if you update, I'd like to see if you are indeed
hitting that condition.
