The instruction that crashes is

testb $0x80,0x1cd(%rdi)

with %rdi being 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b, which is the pattern that slab poisoning
uses for free areas.

I think it's the "sdev->single_lun" test at the very top of the function,
where "sdev" was initialized with "q->queuedata". So it looks like
somebody free'd the request_queue structure before the IO completed.

Definitely sounds like something screwy in SCSI.. I don't think this is VM
related.
