Well, guess who is now trying to bring up 2.4 on a laptop :-(
The problem is that unreset_socket() is a timer handler.
unreset_socket ->
cb_alloc ->
pci_insert_device ->
pci_announce_device ->
vortex_probe1 ->
init_etherdev ->
init_netdev ->
init_alloc_dev ->
kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) ->
<splat>
We don't want to create another kernel thread just for cardbus.
I think the best general way to fix this is for the timer handler to do
nothing but register a callback with something which is running in
process context, such as `swapper'.
Does a capability such as this exist at present?
