Oops in idepnp_probe -> sysfs_hash_and_remove with pnpbios turned on

Hiya

I get this oops on boot when booting a kernel with pnpbios turned on on a old thinkpad 600. BIOS seems to be pretty broken on this one, so that might be a partial cause. Kernel is a pretty recentish fedora devel one so it's basically 2.6.8-rc2'ish in case that matters.

Might contain a few typos, couldn't get a readable photo :-(
