OK, fingers crossed for Jesse.

I think the followup is bogus.  

drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c:GetLanConfigPages() calls mpt_config()
against an on-stack CONFIGPARMS, which embeds an on-stack timer_list.

So we should still use init_timer_on_stack().  Hopefully that won't
explode if mpt_config() is called with a CONFIGPARMS which _isn't_ on
the stack.

argh, I'll ping Thomas again.
