Ok, I just did one last thing that seems to have completely 
cleared up the deadlocks I've been experiencing.  I simply 
re-mkfs'd the affected filesystem, and I haven't had any 
deadlocks since then.  Apparently some latent fs damage got left 
behind by the bug.

So...XFS-CVS (as it stands now) is apparently stable on Alpha.  
No further patching needed.  Those who have been bitten by the 
bug, however, may need to repair or rebuild the filesystem 
before the deadlocks go away.  xfs_repair by itself may be 
enough; if I'd been a little less spontaneous in my testing, I'd 
have tried that first (d'oh!)
