I just retested bare net-2.6.22, pulled 30 minutes ago.  I got just one
warning:

 =======================

It's 100% reproducible here, using
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-sony.txt

The weird ASSERT_RTNL warnings aren't there, so something else in -mm
(prior to git-net.patch in the series file) would appear to be interacting
with net changes.
