I don't see the extra call to bdi_init in aoe driver v81 in the mainline git tree, and
I don't see the symptoms under discussion, either, when performing the same 
test steps.

Kernels with aoe v47 can use the patch I just posted.

I'm going to go through the stable kernels and check, but I believe kernels after
v47 but before commit 0a41409c5180 should apply the fix in 0a41409c5180:

  commit 0a41409c518083133e79015092585d68915865be
  Author: Ed Cashin <ecashin@...aid.com>
  Date:   Mon Dec 17 16:03:58 2012 -0800
  
      aoe: remove vestigial request queue allocation

Josh, can you confirm that the patch I posted in this thread today works for 
your customer?
