Ok, thanks everybody. I think the proper fix is the attached patch.
It's crazy to have usermode helpers enabled early during boot when
init etc haven't even been set up.
So does this finally fix the problem (I realize that there are other
patches floating around that *also* fix it, so please test this
without those other patches).
I'm planning on also applying the patch that optimizes the case of no
shm attaches, which would also hide the oops, but I think this
attached patch is the RightThing(tm).
