Has this been tested with scheduling while atomic checking
(CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP) or lockdep (CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)? ARM would
call this with irqs disabled and blocking_notifier_call_chain() would
spit out a warning when it tries to down_read() on it's semaphore. This
should probably be an atomic notifier chain instead.


Good point. I'll update the code accordingly.

I'll wait for additional comments until early next week to avoid unnecessary
churn.

Thanks,
Guenter
