thanks for this report.

The untested patch below should fix this bug (I'm assuming your .config 
hasn't set CONFIG_HOTPLUG).

It's a real problem that these bugs have become runtime errors in
kernel 2.6 on i386 instead of link errors as they were in kernel 2.4 on 
i386 (and are still in kernel kernel 2.6 on some other architectures 
like sparc64) resulting in fewer people noticing them.  :-(

gem_remove_one() is called from the __devinit gem_init_one().

Therefore, gem_remove_one() mustn't be __devexit.
