I'm 99,9% sure lockdep's warning like this will be back:

#0 vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key
	|
	V
#1 ppp->wlock
	|
	V
(pppoe)


#0 ppp->wlock
	|
	V
#1 pch->downl
	|
	V
#2 vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key
	|
	V
(eth)

This 0,1% is for Yuriy - when he changes config or turns off
lockdep, like others.

But I have no problem with waiting too.
