No, I've had various x86 reports of the same problem, although they seem to be limited to SMP machines.
I don't think it's an SMP issue, though, apart from some obvious things that should have been fixed some time ago (ie the use of "tbusy" as a lock which needs to use atomic operations).
The fact that it happens on a (UP, I very much assume) alpha too makes it sound like a generic driver problem that just happens to trigger more easily on SMP in x86 land.
