Those errors are from the base 2.4.21-rc1 kernel, they are not XFS
errors.  SGI could do a local fix but it would be better if the real
fix came from the IPMI and IP/SCSI developers.  Especially since
exporting panic_notifier_list is dangerous, it introduces a race
between module unload and panic.  Either build ipmi and iph5526 into
the kernel (not modules) or contact he IPMI and IP/SCSI developers for
a fix.
