SubjectBug in workqueues [was: Usb devices randomly aren't detected with 2.6.28-rc1-git1]
This is no longer a USB issue, so I'm asking for help from the general 
kernel community. Background can be found in Bugzilla #11853.

The task dump shows rmmod waiting for flush_workqueue(). But the
events/0 task doesn't appear to be hung, and the task dump taken before
running rmmod shows events/0 doing something different.

So apparently flush_workqueue() isn't working.
