The crash is due to this commit from yesterday's (v2.6.33-rc2) upstream tree:

| commit 1fdd407f4e3f2ecb453954cbebb6c22491c61853
| Author: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>
| Date:   Thu Dec 17 22:19:42 2009 -0800
|
|    dell-wmi: do not keep driver loaded on unsupported boxes
|    
|    There is no point in having the driver loaded in memory if we fail
|    to locate particular WMI GUID.

I've reverted the commit from -tip for now.

Thanks,
