IP22 (Indy) Breakage

Hi all,
I've just done a checkout of git HEAD (as of 23rd January), and struck
this little gem whilst trying to boot a kernel on my Indy.

	I figured WD33C93 SCSI was the culprit, so I modularised that (with the

intention of modprobing it later), and set up a kernel with IP Level AutoConfiguration (via DHCP) and Root-over-NFS support, to try and isolate the SCSI problem. That yeilded the following crash.

	I've heard this affects both R4600 and R5000 Indys.  It would seem

there's some breakage of the sgiseeq and wd33c93 drivers due to changes in the surrounding API, but this is an uneducated guess. :-) Would someone have some pointers as to where I should look for problems?

Regards,

Gah, forgot my .config. (Yeah, my brain switches off after 1AM, so I end up making all sorts of stupid mistakes :-D)

This is the version with modularised SCSI.
