Well that didn't help much. It still crashed. Taking pictures didn't 
get a good capture. I wasn't able to use boot_delay to slow things down, 
as even a small value resulted in me only seeing one line of output 
before giving up after a minute or two. I used a serial console to 
slow things down, but it isn't enough to make it easy to take pictures 
with the camera I had. The crash was someplace inside the scheduler, but 
I don't know if there were messages from the BUG_ON lines.
