Oops in firewire (2.4.21-pre5 with 2.4.21-pre4 firewire driver)

[Torrey Hoffman]

I heard that the firewire merge in 2.4.21-pre5 was messed up, so I
replaced the -pre5 drivers/ieee1394 with the one from -pre4.

I got an oops while loading the driver.  I will continue to experiment
with recent kernels, and try to find a bitkeeper snapshot with the
latest firewire fixes.  Any suggestions are welcome.

(I am experimenting with recent kernels because these modules cause oops
and hangs with the latest Red Hat kernel as well.  However, the hardware
works fine with older Red Hat kernels.)

Anyway, the oops is decoded below.  System is an up to date Red Hat 8,
except for the kernel.
