2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
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.
