The WARN() was already changed to a WARN_ONCE().

So that debug check doesn't cause problems any more. If somebody is
bisecting something else, and the WARN() is a problem for those
intermediate kernels, then just disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
should get you past that point.

IOW, this really shouldn't be an issue.

Does the pccard thing still not work?
