There are a number of reasons for why this could happen.  The most likely
one is the large number of SCSI data structures that are allocated on the
kernel stack but may actually be transfered at interrupt time.  The SCSI
system has a hack in it to attempt to notice and bounce these data
structures, but the test is no longer adequate now that the possition
of the kernel stack has moved.  The CAM SCSI layer does not have this
problem, but I have yet to find the time to convert the 1542 driver
to the new framework.
