Hmm.

I'm not 100% sure that patch is good.

The reason? I think it's going to deadlock if an async caller ends up wanting to load a module, because then the nestecd "async_synchronize_full()" will basically want to wait for itself.

So it's a good test-patch, and maybe no async caller ever loads a module, but it makes me a bit nervous.

But the fact that it fixes things for you at least means that the _reason_ for the problem is know, and maybe there are alternative solutions. Arjan?

I just got back from the LF summit and am catching up on mail; I'll take a look
at the history.
