Whoops:

include/linux/device.h: In function 'device_schedule_callback':
include/linux/device.h:374: error: 'THIS_MODULE' undeclared (first use in this
function)
include/linux/device.h:374: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
include/linux/device.h:374: error: for each function it appears in.)
Maybe better move the implementation of device_schedule_callback() to
drivers/base/core.c? (Though I'm not sure why
include/asm-s390/hardirq.h includes linux/interrupt.h, and e.g.
include/asm-i386/hardirq.h doesn't.)
