There is new debugging stuff in -mm: deadlockable usage of workqueue
primitives will now trigger lockdep warnings.  See

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc1/2.6.23-rc1-mm2/broken-out/workqueue-debug-flushing-deadlocks-with-lockdep.patch

I am suspecting that running flush_scheduled_work() from within run_workqueue()
isn't good.
