Sorry, but I don't see how this patch explains the oops the
people saw.

I googled for this oops and found three distinct occurences.  They
share the property that idev->stats.proc_dir_entry->name contains
a bogus value.  In two cases it had 0x5 and 0xa respectively, in
the other it had 0x61696265.

The last one could be an important clue.

Cheers,
