While doing insert/remove (quickly) tests on USB,
I managed to trigger an Oops on 2.6.23.8 on a call

I'll hold off on adding this patch for now.

Why?
Bugs that result in Oops in core code (class.c) can bite
just about any subsystem that does hotplug, and should get
prompt attention. Or so one might think.
And they have, the 2.6.24 kernel should have the correct fix for this
problem, right? The fact that you oopsed out in this function enabled
people to find and fix the problem already. Adding a BUG_ON() does the
same exact thing :)

Well, actually BUG_ON() allows the system to continue running
while still not masking the issue. But close enough.
So again, the problem is in the higher up scsi layer, and that is where
the problem should already be fixed.

Ahhh.. so you figure the Oops should also have been fixed
as part of the 2.6.24 SCSI fixes ? That's what I was missing here.
Thanks.
