Bisected. The bug starts here:

commit 68154e90c9d1492d570671ae181d9a8f8530da55
Author: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>

block: add dma alignment and padding support to blk_rq_map_kern

This patch adds bio_copy_kern similar to
bio_copy_user. blk_rq_map_kern uses bio_copy_kern instead of
bio_map_kern if necessary.

bio_copy_kern uses temporary pages and the bi_end_io callback frees
these pages. bio_copy_kern saves the original kernel buffer at
bio->bi_private it doesn't use something like struct bio_map_data to
store the information about the caller.

We see output upon packet-written CD-RW mount going from the expected:

(i.e. `this is a CD-RW'), to the incorrect-by-one-byte

Aug 23 22:06:41 hades warning: kernel: pkt_writable_disc: pd = efc97dc0, ->mmc3_profile = 0

i.e., not a CD-RW, writable mounts impossible.

So something in this patch seems to be corrupting the results of at
least some ATAPI sg requests going to or from the block layer: and
indeed blk_rq_map_kern(), called by pkt_generic_packet(), is changed by
this patch.

Tomonori, Jens, can you see any immediate cause of this? It seems to me
that the alignment check in blk_rq_map_kern() *must* be going wrong,
somehow: this can't be an unaligned buffer or the code wouldn't have
worked before the patch, yet if the buffer was aligned, we should be
calling bio_map_kern(), which this patch hasn't changed. Perhaps the
buffer length of 12 is leading it to believe that it should go via a
bounce buffer and is calling the new code (and tripping some bug in it,
since presumably even the new code isn't expected to corrupt the data in
flight ;) )

Further investigations soon but I've had enough of rebooting my desktop
for tonight.
