If I'm looking correctly at the gitk output, the major change is 
actually the addition of the driver itself (which wasn't there before). 
However, the problematic code seems to be the same.

Which would mean it's very timing dependent, since the oops depends on 
the scheduled work getting scheduled before the task executing the 
s3cmci initialization.
