dmesg after booting 2.6.37 quiet mtpbase.mpt_debug_level=0x8188

This is the upstream followup for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607906, where you can find
some basic kernel logs. Instead those I attach a log with
mpt_debug_level=0x8188 (rather arbibtary value snatched from #11045, please ask
for a better one).

In short: on an IBM x345 loading the mptspi module under 2.6.32 oopses, unless
the kernel is started with 'quiet', in which case it works all right. Under
2.6.37 the module still works all right when the 'quiet' parameter is present,
but introduces an 80-second boot delay without it (but at least manages to
avoid the oops).
