Subject: [2.6.22] edac: sleeping function called from invalid context

Hi,
as soon as I enable parity check on PCI bus (with polling - EDAC_POLL),
the following warning is triggered:

EDAC MC: Ver: 2.0.1 Jul 13 2007
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/kronos/src/linux-2.6.git/kernel/rwsem.c:20

 =======================

The warning is caused by the fact that do_pci_parity_check() calls
edac_pci_dev_parity_iterator() with interrupts disabled and
pci_get_device acquires pci_bus_sem (via pci_get_subsys).
