Subject: [02/39] hp_accel: fix race in device removal


2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.de>

commit 06efbeb4a47b6f865e1c9d175ab9d6e90b69ae9e upstream.

The work queue has to be flushed after the device has been made
inaccessible.  The patch closes a window during which a work queue might
remain active after the device is removed and would then lead to ACPI
calls with undefined behavior.
