Do you have lockdep ? There have been some changes to the completion
stuff, I'm wondering if the DECLARE_COMPLETION in windfarm_smu_sensors.c
need to be change to DECLARE_COMLETION_ONSTACK... (And other similars in
windfarm_*).

I haven't had a chance to test yet but I'll audit through all the
powerpc uses of DECLARE_COMPLETION since I use DECLARE_COMPLETION on
stack variables often.

Ben.
