Subject[2.6.26] kobject_add_internal failed for 2:0 with -EEXIST / unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference in sysfs_create_link
While running my http://vanheusden.com/pyk/ script (which randomly
inserts and removes modules) I triggered the folllowing oops in a 2.6.26
kernel on an IBM xSeries 260. This oops (in fact no oops at all) did not
get triggered in a 2.6.18 kernel on that system.

[ 42.507375] FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
[ 42.509057] kobject_add_internal failed for 2:0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
