If you look in drivers/scsi/Kconfig it states:
# This is marked broken because it uses over 4kB of stack in
# just two routines:
# 2076 CpqTsProcessIMQEntry
# 2052 PeekIMQEntry

tristate "Compaq Fibre Channel 64-bit/66Mhz HBA support"
depends on PCI && SCSI && BROKEN

Say Y here to compile in support for the Compaq StorageWorks
Fibre
Channel 64-bit/66Mhz Host Bus Adapter.
You have to unselect 'Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly'
in the 'Code maturity level options' to see this driver.
I assume it's marked as broken for a very good reason, so you may not
want to do this ...
RedHat/CentOS disable 8K stacks completely in these kernels, so you
might want to use a vanilla 2.6.X kernel with 8K stacks instead.
