Hi USB Gurus!

2.6.8-rc2-mm2

It just happened to me that my X stopped working (all frozen) while
syncing my palm. Sysrq/syslog brought forth:

Looks like a synchronous unlink from a call context that
requires asynchronous unlinks ...

... aha!  TTY layer, and flush_to_ldisc() ... I seem to recall that
function is inconsistent about its locking policy.  Evidently
something about this call gave you the undesirable one.

Someone's going to have to sort this out starting from about
right here...
