Bother. I see I was a few hours late finding this, and commit 9f29ab11ddb
is already in Linus' tree.

That's what happens when I get busy and skip a couple of days testing
linux-next :-(

So my problem comes from
arch/ia64/hp/common/sba_iommu.c

where the code in sba_init() says:

        acpi_bus_register_driver(&acpi_sba_ioc_driver);
        if (!ioc_list) {

but because of this change we never managed to call ioc_init()
so ioc_list doesn't get set up, and we die.
Before this commit, the call chain looked like this:

 [<a0000001011c3710>] ioc_init+0x40/0xd00
 [<a0000001011c4560>] acpi_sba_ioc_add+0x190/0x1c0

 [<a00000010084c550>] bus_for_each_dev+0x110/0x180
 [<a00000010084fcc0>] driver_attach+0x40/0x60

 [<a0000001011c45c0>] sba_init+0x30/0x2d0

Is my problem that this driver has (or attaches) a "scan handler"
where it shouldn't ... and I just need to stop it doing that?
