Well, that would be the case if thread 2 was started by device_schedule_callback(),
but again, for example, it may be trim_stale_devices() started by acpiphp_check_bridge()
that doesn't hold extra references to the pci_dev. [Well, that piece of code
is racy anyway, because it walks bus->devices without locking. Which is my
fault too, because I overlooked that. Shame, shame.]

Perhaps we can do something like the (untested) patch below (in addition to the
$subject patch). Do you see any immediate problems with it?

Also I wonder if it is safe to do pci_stop_and_remove_device() in acpiphp_glue.c
without putting it under pci_remove_rescan_mutex?
