2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Larry Finger <[email protected]> commit f36d83a8cb7224f45fdfa1129a616dff56479a09 upstream. This driver issues a kernel panic over conditions that do not justify such drastic action. Change these to log entries with a stack dump. This patch fixes the system crash reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/674285.
