I'm not too convinced this is such a difficult problem to figure out.
We already have most of logic in place and the only thing missing is
how to switch it. Wouldn't something like the following work?
* Add a sysctl knob to enable asynchronous device probing on module
load and enable asynchronous probing globally if the knob is set.
* Identify cases which can't be asynchronous and make them
synchronous. e.g. keep who's doing request_module() and avoid
asynchronous probing if current is probing one of those.
Thanks.
