Ok, still trying to figure this out, and I do have another bug as a
result. I don't think this one is really the fundamental one either
that caused my crash during "yum upgrade", nor necessarily Knut's
problem during shutdown, but I'll keep looking.

And who knows.. Maybe this *does* explain Knut's issue.

Appended is a warning I get with DEBUG_TIMER_OBJECTS. Seems to be a
device-mapper issue. Alasdair, Neil, comments? It looks like
dm_destroy() is freeing an delayed_work entry that is still active...

I don't know exactly which field in the 'struct mapped_device' has
that delayed-work thing, but I assume it's the kobject.. Somebody who
knows this code better, please take a look!
