<looks at mainline's 8e9394ce2412254ec69fd2a4f3e44a66eade2297>

    In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
    device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out)

<looks at linux-next's "drivers/base: Convert dev->sem to mutex">

Seems that the latter patch (from Greg and Thomas) went and did the
mutex conversion before "we got the lockdep infrastructure properly
worked out".
