Yes. I've thought about this, and even planned to mention, but then
forgotten... Of course, you are right, but since it stayed so long
and doesn't seem to be dangerous, and there is -rc7 I wasn't so brave.
But now I have an explanation...

Subject: [PATCH][NETPOLL] netconsole: delete flush_scheduled_work

flush_scheduled_work() isn't needed after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(),
so here it's removed from netpoll_cleanup().

PS: This patch was prepared on 2.6.22-rc7 with my other today's patch:
netconsole: fix soft lockup ...
