[found-not fixed] Re: 2.4.5+ hangs on boot

Ok, the problem is this. I have TEQL packet scheduling in my config,
the kernel runs through this sequence on boot:

net_dev_init()
    pktsched_init()
        teql_init() [starts a lock with rtnl_lock()]
            register_netdevice()
                net_dev_init()
                    pktsched_init()
                        teql_init() [hangs here...]

Here is the problem. We enter teql_init() again with a rtnl_lock()
already being held. Do any of the authors of these functions want to
jump in here?
