2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger(a)lwfinger.net>

commit 214ac9a4ead6cb254451c09d9c8234a76693feb1 upstream.

As shown in Kernel Bugzilla #14761, doing a controller restart after a
fatal DMA error does not accomplish anything other than consume the CPU
on an affected system. Accordingly, substitute a meaningful message for
the restart.
