I went and checked upstream to find out if it was using a work queue
to handle this already as Matthew thought. Of course, he was correct:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=814cb8adbe2fb49302ac65bc31fa749143823860

It looks like our Maverick kernel code for this driver is based on
upstream and not on Lucid, so we should be good going forward.
Hopefully this snafu won't happen again. Matthew, thanks for bringing
this to our attention!
