Subject: net-next rcu_dereference_check() warning

With today's net-next I am getting the below.  It appears to be recent, it 
wasn't happening with the net-next I was using last week.

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
/build/net-next-2.6/include/linux/netpoll.h:67 invoked 
rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by ypbind/5046:
  #0:  (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81503139>]
