Ok, people, can we get a tested-by (or "Nope, doesn't work") from the
people who saw this?

That said, maybe we could just make the rule be that you can't pick a
default IO scheduler that is modular.

And I *would* like to see the warning we discussed. Maybe there are
other situations that can trigger this?

Because something like that

    WARN_ON_ONCE(wait && i_am_async() && system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING);

in kernel/kmod.c (__request_module()) still sounds like a good idea to
verify that this is the only thing that triggers it (of course, we'd
need to somehow avoid the warning for the known case with the known
workaround).
