From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On my laptop the iwl3945 driver oopsed at boot with 2.6.37-rc1 in __dev_printk. The problem is that for some reason it prints the sw scan warning, but does that before the pci device is initialized in the driver private structure. This leads to an oops in the warning print code. Move the warning after the device has been initialized.
