Verified.

Also ...

1) As stated before, this is -only- with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP enabled. If I turn these two off,
it boots fine.

2) Because the patch:
gregkh-driver-put_device-might_sleep.patch
that comes just before here was causing me to worry with its
added error messages, I removed it from my stack. That made
no difference to the failing boot (it simply removed the
error messages, as Greg would predict.)
