These might have different causes. The 1394 storage driver, sbp2,
performs quite a lot of protocol handling in IRQ or soft IRQ context. I
have been planning to move this off into process context -- not really
because of potential latency issues but for sake of more reliable
protocol handling. I hope I get to it RSN.

AFAICS the offending ohci1394 functions mentioned above are never called
during normal access to an SBP-2 device. They only happen when a host
adapter is initialized or shut down or whenever a 1394 device is plugged
in or out (actually whenever self ID reception is completed).
