I don't have lockups on my 6.0 server, but I confirm there is something strange with the iir driver. On dmesg.*, I can read

iir0: Bus B: The SCSI controller successfully recovered from a SCSI BUS issue.  The issue may still be present on the BUS.  Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc
iir0: SCSI-B, ID 3: MPI returned 0x00000048

I have an INTEL SRCU42L raid board.

Maybe that's REALLY a cable problem I have here?
