[patch 5/6] zcrypt: Fix possible dead lock in AP bus module.

From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Mon Mar 26 2007 - 16:55:05 EST


From: Ralph Wuerthner <rwuerthn@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a AP device is unconfigured __ap_poll_all() will call
device_unregister() in software interrupt context which can cause
dead locks. To fix this the device will be only marked as unconfigured
and the device_unregister() call will be done later by either
ap_scan_bus() or ap_queue_message() in process context.
