Subject: WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:451 sysfs_add_one: sysfs: cannot create
 duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/slot'

I get a spew of these on boot.  The  virtual machine is mostly Fedora 14
with a kernel from linux-next as of today.  The hardware is RHEL 5.5
with KVM:

tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
tag: next-20100412
commit: bbeecf185fe464ccd7ee97ce6d3646ad686995b4

I get one for 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0.  Below I only show the
example for 1.0.  Attached should be the full dmesg and config.  Please
let me know about any ideas, tests, questions, or things I can do to
help debug the spew....
