The problem went away for a while, but then came back.  I still have no 
idea why, but I'm back to debugging it.

The most strange thing I'm seeing is this:

For some reason dma_pool_alloc() is returning unaligned, overlapping 
memory chunks.  That that point everything else is no surprise...

So I'm trying to figure out how the dma pool stuff is malfunctioning, 
and whether anything we've done is causing it.
