It means that we did a kmalloc(N, ...) where the value of N is known at compile time, and N is too large. But I can find no such kmalloc/kzalloc calls in ses.c. It might be gcc bustage - we've seen that before. Please do make drivers/scsi/ses.s then have a look in drivers/scsi/ses.s and see which function is emitting a call to __you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much. Or email me drivers/scsi/ses.s and I'll take a look.
