It does indeed have a Qlogic SCSI chip. I've been talking with the
maintainer of the isp driver, and he doesn't know about anything like
this. The most recent driver continues to result in a kernel that tries
to deliver these bogus SIGPROFs. The machine is now at 4.1.1-RELEASE
(it's not actually there quite yet -- since I can't remotely reboot the
damn thing, but the latest isp driver plus the ispfw driver didn't
help).
