After reviewing the logs and code again, I think it was my mistake to 
come to early conclusion that it was because of calling mutex_lock() in 
the atomic context. It is clear now.

I would like to understand the reason behind putting locks in the epc 
core driver before calling ops.
I believe the ops callers should implement lock if they are concurrently 
accessing the ops instead of adding a global lock in the epc core.
This would help in scenarios like the one below.

	We have a performance oriented endpoint function driver which calls 
map, unmap & raise_irq ops from softirq context and because of 
mutex_lock(), we can't do that now. epc core driver should not restrict 
the function drivers to use only non-atomic functions.

Thanks,
Vidya Sagar
