Yes, that's on my list. Unfortunately this has so far only been seen
on my workstation, and I have to get a bit of work done before I can
pursue this. At least I can get some candidates built in the
background.

I have tried a few things quickly with 22-rc2, and the short summary
is:

* noapic makes no difference (don't recall why I had UP APIC enabled)

* disabling DMA w/hdparm stops the corruption (all normal operation
and previous testing has been with DMA enabled)

* mounting w/ -o sync makes no difference except to slow things down
