This patch triggers (exposes) the following backtrace.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:3738

This is with the imx25-pdk qemu emulation when booting from mmc/sd card.
It isn't really surprising since sdhci_check_ro() calls the gpio code under
spin_lock_irqsave(). No idea how to fix that, so I won't even try.

Bisect log attached for reference.
