__make_request() must be called from process context, hence
spin_lock_irq() is perfectly already and the fastest way to go. And of
course the locking is balanced! So please save your 'gaah's for code
you actually took the time to try and understand.
But it does look like unbalanced irq disable/enable calls. I'd guess in
the suspend/resume path. Obviously something more esoteric, since this
is the first such report for 2.6.22, so like some not-very-used driver
for instance.
