reverting git-scsi-block-fix.patch git-scsi-block.patch solves the
problem.
Also, please note that some of the info printed twice:

This glitch was introduced long time ago, somewhere after 2.6.9-mm1.
I have an archive of all the kernels I've built, so if it'll help I can do
a binary search among them to find when exactly it happend.
