Ok, this problem still seems to be about in 2.6.24-rc1.  Here is the gdb
output from that version, the panic (also below) seems the same:

(gdb) l *gart_map_sg+0x26c
0xffffffff8022011e is in gart_map_sg (arch/x86/kernel/pci-gart_64.c:433).
428                     goto error;
429             out++;
430             flush_gart();
431             if (out < nents) {
432                     sgmap = sg_next(sgmap);
433                     sgmap->dma_length = 0;
434             }
435             return out;
436
437     error:

So it seems sg_next has returned 0.
