Thanks.  
I produced a cleanly applying version of it for 2.6.22.14.

Vincent, please apply this patch so we can know which file in sysfs
these oopses are happening with.

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>

Display the most-recently-opened sysfs file's name when oopsing.

From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...sta.de>

  Build fix

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>

  Modified to make the api call cleaner, and available to all arches if
  need be.  Also added it to x86-64's crash dump message.
