The issue reported in this patch is valid. We are seeing that internally
too. I believe I reported it in another thread (within the past month).

However, the original patch fixes a real deadlock issue (I'm too tired
to look it up now). We can revet the original, but it's going to bring
back the original issue. I just want to make sure Prarit and Raphael
realize this before proceeding.

I do have plans for a proper fix for the mainline (not stable branches),
but plan to do that after the current set of suspend/hotplug patches go
through. The fix would be easier to make after that.

But you aren't going to pull the in for the next release, right?
