Hmm ... could you repost the panic ... I also put in Brian King's check
for device_add failure, which should have picked this up ... it sounds
like there's something else going on.

No, it shouldn't ... it just potentially delays the allocation to wait
for everything to finish using the old target ... we might have to put a
reschedule in the retry loop in alloc to avoid a busy wait.

Does that fix your aic problem?
