actually, the workaround isn't all that obvious; modinfo qla2xxx says:
... 
ql2xfdmienable:Enables FDMI registratons Default is 0 ...

so another possible "fix" would be to just initialize the correspoding
variable with "0" instead of "1", adjusting the program code to match
the documentation. The other patch still would be a good thing, because
even then ql2xfdmienable=1 on the wrong adapter shouldn't cause the
driver to crash.
