Holger Kipp sent me a message back on June 21 that says his problems 
with freezing/IRQ issues on an SMP box that uses a Symbios SCSI 
controller were solved with a patch/workaround from Gerard Roudier 
who said he was planning to commit a polished version as soon as he 
got some time. 

(Not sure if it's there yet, and I'm not very good at looking at CVS 
repositories, but a box here updated on 7/7 still shows old date 
stamps on the sym drivers, and the last apparent change to the module 
in question (sym_hipd.c) was around 4/26, based on the the FreeBSD 
CVS webpage.)
