(Repeating several times)
This would indicate that dev_uevent had been called. But how could
kobject_uevent then return an error without moaning about an uevent()
error code? Maybe the following debug patch could shed some light on
this (all moaning is prefixed with kobject_uevent_env, so it should be
easy to spot)...
