From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcg...@suse.com> This adds support to let device drivers explicitly request to be probed on the deferred workqueue. Note that another ideal solution on top of this would be if we could detect somehow if kthread_create() was SIGKILL'd for a modprobe, and also driver_deferred_probe_add() the device there proactively. This would enable us to not have to be hunting for these device drivers as a fix after a problem popped up. That would allow us to look for device drivers that need this change in a proactive way but without failing them first -- I just can't think of a way to do this yet.
