sd_issue_flush() has been altered to run scsi_disk_get_from_dev(), which

from within softirq.
Methinks the people who developed and tested that patch forgot to enable
CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP.
Actually, I do too (as far as I can on non-x86). I assume you also need
a filesystem that excites this, though.
Try the attached: We can probably rely on the block device having opened
the sd device, so there should already be a reference held on the
scsi_disk ... well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Yup, with that patch it all works now. Thanks James!
FWIW, the filesystem on the raid md's is a reiserfs (reiserfs v3 that is).
