Subject: Re: [Resend][2.6.27-git-a447c093244] BUG: spinlock bad magic on
 CPU#0, setserial/3527


If this started today, then the most likely culprit is Alan's series of 80 
serial patches.

Alan? I can only assume it's one of the

	spin_lock_irq(&up->port.lock);

in serial8250_startup() (or quite likely in one of the functions it calls 
that get inlined by the compiler, like enable_rsa()).

And it sounds like it didn't get initialized.
