This will update the following files:

The via-rhine fix is already in the stable queue.  But the sis900 oops
fix does not apply to the stable tree.  It relies on a few intermediate
patches.  Appears to still be an issue for the older version which is in
2.6.11.  Here's a stab at a backport.  Would you like to review/validate
or drop this one?

The backport looks correct to me, though it would be nice to get a via-rhine owner to ACK the patch before it goes in...
