What version of the code are you using, and which driver?  I seem to
remember dwmw2 doing a s/spin_lock_bh/spin_lock a while ago since MTD
doesn't even use bottom halves.

Latest CVS shows only cfi_cmdset_0020.c, amd_flash.c, and sharp.c as
using spin_lock_bh().  Of those three, two are obsolete and the other is
in need of fixing.
