RE: [SCSI BUG 2.6.15-rc3-mm1] scheduling while atomic on boot time

[goggin, edward]

I think this is caused by my patch to scsi_next_command()
(on or about 11/11) causing it to call put_device() and
invoke the kobject's release() function while in soft
interrupt.  My patch should be removed ... although I
don't have an alternate solution in mind for the original
problem which was an "oops with USB Storage on 2.6.14".
