>Description:
In banging on a Dell Perc 320/DC RAID card, I ran into what appears to be a firmware crash that wedges the card. The wedge opened a race condition that exposed the fact that the aac_ev_cmfree queue wasn't properly initialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in aac_add_event(). After code inspection, I also noticed that the aac_busy queue was also uninitialized. Adding a TAILQ_INIT() fixed the panic (although not the firmware crash, sigh).
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a Perc 320/DC and beat on it. When it wedges, try to look at the card with aaccli. Bang, panic.
>Fix:
