It was observed on an ISP8324 16Gb HBA with fw=8.08.203 (d0d5) that
pkt->entry_type was MBX_IOCB_TYPE/0x39 with an sp->type SRB_SCSI_CMD
which is invalid and should not be possible.
A careful code review of the crash dump didn't reveal any short
comings. Reading the entry_type from the crash dump shows the expected
value of STATUS_TYPE/0x03 but the call trace shows that
qla24xx_mbx_iocb_entry() is used.
One possible explanation is when pkt->entry_type is read it doesn't
contain the correct information. That means the driver observes an data
race by the firmware.
