This time I make a call to kthread_stop in cciss_remove_one. The driver can
be unloaded and the thread gets cleaned up.

KNOWN BUG: it seems the timeout must expire before kthread_stop actually
stops the thread. This causes the driver to hang and wait during rmmod. I've
played around with several things but haven't found the correct way to
address the problem. Looking at other drivers hasn't been much help. Any
advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
mikem
