Interrupts (ping, alt-sysrq) seem to be alive, but nothing else.

This was working fine in 2.6.20, broken now in 2.6.21-rc2-git*

Further info:  Reverting this change (below) fixes it:

The lockup is happening inside the call to device_move(),
specifically in sysfs_move_dir() it loops here forever:

...
again:
       mutex_lock(&old_parent_dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
       if (!mutex_trylock(&new_parent_dentry->d_inode->i_mutex)) {
               mutex_unlock(&old_parent_dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
               goto again;
       }
...
