SMP Death

If I put synchronize_irq() at the beginning of disable_irq(), I get

kernel panic VFS: LRU block list corrupted

... when I try to do a tape backup using aic7xxx.c driver.

If I put synchronize_irq() at the end of disable_irq(), I get sudden
death when I do the backup.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
