Now that I've been able to scan most of my mail; it looks like the one-liner

Ok, I committed my one-liner, and then also reverted the ACPI battery
workaround of removing __init, since the one-liner should fix that too.
Cc'ing the people involved with that commit, just so that they know to
test to make sure the alternate fix really did fix it for them (I'm pretty
sure it does, but still a good idea to verify or at least let people know
that a previous fix got reverted)
longer term I would like to work on two things
1) Fix the __init thing by just only freeing when appropriate, but not having to wait for it
2) Find a way for userland to trigger a sync
- for all storage probing
- for just async work
- "global sync", which includes all driver init
We can then have insmod/modprobe use this always, unless a flag is set
(so say, udev, can load a slew of modules, and then sync only on the last one)
and then after a year or two we can maybe remove the sync from the module loader ;(
