Hi Petr,

we have been running with John Ogness's fix (from the mail linked
above) for about a month now, and it has reduced the number of
deadlocks in the Linux kernel in our fleet by maybe 90%, comparing
a kernel with the fix, to a kernel without the fix.

Would it be possible to get John Ogness's fix queued up for merging
in the printk tree, and then later to Linus?
