The "Badness in iosapic_unregister_intr at arch/ia64/kernel/iosapic.c:851"
messages are caused by a missing call to free_irq() in the mpt/fusion driver.
I think that it should go here ... but someone with a clue should verify:

diff --git a/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c b/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c
--- a/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c
+++ b/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c
@@ -1384,6 +1384,8 @@ mpt_suspend(struct pci_dev *pdev, pm_mes
/* Clear any lingering interrupt */
CHIPREG_WRITE32(&ioc->chip->IntStatus, 0);

+ free_irq(ioc->pci_irq, ioc);
+
pci_disable_device(pdev);
pci_set_power_state(pdev, device_state);

But even this doesn't fix the hang during shutdown :-(

The remaining problem is cause by the order of the calls in sys_reboot:

device_suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND);
device_shutdown();

The call to device_suspend() shuts down the mpt/fusion driver. But then
device_shutdown() calls sd_shutdown() which prints:

Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sdb

and then calls sd_sync_cache(). Now since we suspended mpt/fusion, this is
going to go nowhere.

I don't know how to fix this. Re-ordering the suspend & shutdown just looks
wrong.
