Even after applying some fixes posted by Chirag and Peter Z, I'm still
getting some messages in my log like this
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context swapper(0) at
kernel/rtmutex.c:743
in_atomic():1 [00000001], irqs_disabled():1
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.26.1-rt1.jk #2

The following simple patch makes the messages disappear - however,
there may be a better more fine grained solution, but the problem is
also that all the functions are designed to use the same lock.
