Big Oops on serial unload while PPP still active

I accidentally tried to unload the serial driver while I still had an
active PPP session going. I got this for errors:

Jun 10 08:53:41 medusa kernel: SERIAL: failed to unregister serial driver (-16)
Jun 10 08:53:41 medusa kernel: SERIAL: failed to unregister callout driver (-16)

That's all that was in the logs. However, it immediately spat out
uncountable Oopsen (I couldn't get any of them, this happened within the
space of about a second). Looks like something failed to prevent rmmod
from attempting to remove the module, even though it was still being used.
Any questions? Ideas? If yoou need more info, let me know - I don't really
know what would be useful in this case.
