A performance regression has been discovered in the MPT Fusion
driver between versions 3.02.73rh and 3.02.99.00rh. As a
consequence, we have downgraded the MPT Fusion driver in the RHEL4
kernel from 3.02.99.00 to 3.02.73 until this problem is fixed.

  Current journal checksumming patch failed fsstress test on NUMA. The
  bh->b_data passed to the crc32_be () function could be NULL pointer,
  which caused kernel oops immediately when running fsstress with -o
  journal_checksum. It is because the page is part of highmem on NUMA box.
  We need to kmap the page before access the bh->b_data to calculate
  the checksums.
