Does this fix it?

(This patch is also in the linux-scsi tree. James, is a merge planned
soon?)

From: Martin Diehl <lists@mdiehl.de>

Seems there are two problems:

* interrupt handler expects to find the host in aha152x_host[] array which
  is currently set too late after probing irq's

* despite testing for NULL swintr derefences a shpnt==NULL anyway, looks
  like a victim of HOSTNO obfuscation ;-)

The patch below fixes the issue for me - succesfully tested to compile,
load and even use my attached scanner.
