Linus,

please pull from the for-linus branch at

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git for-linus

to receive the following change --- as a hotfix for now, and to expand
Greg's options when he sorts device_initialize() out later.

    firewire: core: fix sleep in atomic context due to driver core change
    
    Due to commit 2831fe6f9cc4e16c103504ee09a47a084297c0f3, "driver core:
    create a private portion of struct device", device_initialize() can no
    longer be called from atomic contexts.
    
    We now defer it until after config ROM probing.  This requires changes
    to the bus manager code because this may use a device before it was
    probed.
