Right. I've omitted that from the git tree I just pushed out.

And I think it's even less likely for br2684. At least with pppoatm you
might have had pppd sending frames. But for br2684 they *only* come from
its start_xmit function... which is serialised anyway.

I do get strange oopses when I try to add BQL to br2684, but that's not
something to be looking at at 1am...

I *do* need the equivalent of your patch 4, which is the module_put
race.
