Subject: [2.6.33-rc4] sysfs lockdep warnings on cpu hotplug

Hi Eric,

rumours are that you could be responsible for the following lockdep message:

Happens on cpu hotplug on s390:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.33-rc4-00399-g24bc734 #1
---------------------------------------------
bash/2576 is trying to acquire lock:
 (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<000000000016c506>] sysfs_addrm_finish+0x5a/0xa8

but task is already holding lock:
 (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<000000000016c90c>] sysfs_get_active_two+0x64/0x88

other info that might help us debug this:
5 locks held by bash/2576:
