I pushed my machine hard enough for it to take half an hour to regain
control again (300+ MB into swap gets kinda slugish:) and came up with..

4500 -1071470953 = 0xc022a696 = aic7xxx_allocate_scb()

I was trying to max out SB16, PSAUX, NE2000 and AHA2940 interrupts.

BTW, not one fork failure despite 2 concurrent make -j bzImage. With
earlier kernels this always eventually led to fork failures. (K=109)
