Should have tried harder against next, git-am is very picky.

So running next-20130211, 20 runs of trinity followed by ctrl-c, I saw
the warning 12 times. Back trace is basically always:

Call Trace:
[c00000027a1efb20] [c000000000467b74] .flush_to_ldisc+0x244/0x250 (unreliable)
[c00000027a1efbd0] [c00000000009ea7c] .process_one_work+0x1bc/0x4f0
[c00000027a1efc70] [c00000000009f2e0] .worker_thread+0x180/0x4b0
[c00000027a1efd30] [c0000000000a6c3c] .kthread+0xec/0x100
[c00000027a1efe30] [c000000000009f64] .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x64/0x80


Running next-20130211 + "ldisc fixes", 20 runs of trinity followed by ctrl-c,
I saw the warning _0_ times.

Insert standard comment about testing only proving the presence of bugs not
their absence :)

So it looks promising.

cheers
