OK, combo meal deal below, against Linus' latest. I'd really appreciate
a report, since AFAIK you're the only one hitting it, and only when that
other (now reverted) patch was applied.
As an side to Brandon: I can see how my patch fixed an explicit request_module
inside module_init (that's how I tested it). I can't see how we have a
problem with an implicit dependency such as bne2x->crc32. Modules go into
the live state without retaking the lock. If you can still reproduce that
now Linus has reverted, I'm afraid we need to dig deeper...
Thanks,
Rusty.
