The mpt messages in your logs suggest that the firmware had an NCQ
problem that required it to abort all the outstanding commands and have
the OS retry them (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCQ for what NCQ
is).  You can disable NCQ, at the cost of IO performance usually, to
work around the issue (see
https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_FAQ#Enabling.2C_disabling_and_checking_NCQ).

The problem would probably either be a bad drive or off change a bad
cable or card.  You might check each driver with smartctl to confirm
their health.  You might also what watch /sys/block/sdX/device/ioerr_cnt
for each device to help clue in on any problems (never used the file
before so I'd be curious if it helps).

Also, the xfs.log shows a panic from a null pointer.  This is probably
just a result of the problems on with the fw<->drive communication.
