The below is strange - GCC is putting disks in the .text section or kallsyms
has some bug.

*) Is this reproducible on host?
*) I don't understand yet what UML may be doing wrong.
*) look at: that spin_lock (SMP kernel? SPINLOCK_DEBUG? Try enabling the
latter and see what happens).
(a bio is a block I/O request)
*) given what the code says, on that line bio is NULL, i.e. loop_get_bio
returned NULL, i.e. (I guess) wait_for_completion_interruptible returned,
because someone else (loop_make_request) did "complete" on its param, but
incorrectly as the "someone else" hadn't filled the lo->lo_bio.
