Well, that patch is definitely broken.
You say that it just causes a warning about sleeping in interrupt context, while I say that the warning is a serious error. If that semaphore _ever_ is write-locked, the whole machine will crash from trying to sleep when it cannot sleep.
So I can certainly undo the undo, but the fact is, the code is CRAP. I'd much rather get a real fix instead of having to select between two known bugs.
Please?
