Re: [patch] "big IRQ lock" removal, 2.5.27-A1

using serial-2.5.26-3.diff, i get an oops here:

(gdb) list *0xc01b1f03
0xc01b1f03 is in serial_in (serial_8250.c:189).
184                     return readb(up->port.membase + offset);
185
186             default:
187                     return inb(up->port.iobase + offset);
188             }
189     }

191     static _INLINE_ void
192     serial_out(struct uart_8250_port *up, int offset, int value)
193     {
(gdb)

called from:

(gdb) list *0xc01b3450
0xc01b3450 is in serial8250_interrupt (serial_8250.c:946).
941                     struct uart_8250_port *up;

944                     up = list_entry(l, struct uart_8250_port, list);
945
946                     iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR);

when echo-ing into a serial port, which is also set up for kernel serial
console. (the kernel serial console produces no output.)
