What is the kernel version, btw? I can't find do_async_initcalls
in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.

Anyway, this really looks like lockdep bug to me. Even if we really
have the circular dependency (will try to grep more) I can't understand
why lockdep claims that polldev_mutex depends on cpu_add_remove_lock.

Oleg.
