It seems the crash has been rewritten by hand. I don't see
any cmd40x_init(), I guess it's about cmd640 chipset, then
cmd640x_init()

I don't see very recent changes in drivers/ide/cmd640.c
But there are some in drivers/ide/ide-io.c and drivers/ide/ide-cd.c
for this cycle.

Especially commit a1f9a89c90b4ac143c5b6054c2a157572b272cd2 which
fixed in -rc2:

     [<10116068>] intr_return+0x0/0x4

Looks very similar. But the crash reported in this ticket is for -rc4, which means the
issue was still there after this fix or it's another one.
Adding some more Cc's.
