Subject: revert "dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloading"
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Frank Sorenson reported that 2.6.25-rc OOMs on his box and
tracked it down to commit 8f47f0b688bba7642dac4e979896e4692177670b,
"dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloading". Frank says:
> What actually happens is that when udev loads the dcdbas module at
> startup, modprobe apparently calls "modprobe dcdbas" itself, repeating
> until the system runs out of resources (in this case, it OOMs).
revert the commit.
