Yes, I can reproduce it on 3.5.6.  There are devices up, none down, when I do rmmod.  If no aoe devices are present, the warnings do not appear.

The suggestion above to move put_disk after blk_cleanup_queue doesn't affect the list_del warnings, but thanks for the quick guess---Is that something we need to change regardless of the issue at hand?
