Lockdep warning and kernel panic with e1000e on 2.6.33-rc4

From: Joerg Roedel

Hi,

I just tried to unbind a device from the e1000e driver and got the following
output from lockdep and the kernel panic from a NULL pointer dereference. The
kernel running on the machine is 2.6.33-rc4 + kvm patches (which shouldn't
matter):
