only a very few drivers do this kind of grab-a-bunch-of-other-devices
stuff.

I turned off all SMP / preempt stuff, and it didn't make any difference.
All the locking has been changed in -mm by the way. Anyway, what
happens is that after the disconnect and everything, the driver has a
reference count of 1, not 0. So I just have to work out where the refs
are taken and where they are released...
Ciao,
