[PATCH] cpia.c rmmod deadlock fix
Newer versions of module-init-tools do some locking now which leads to a dead-lock if cpia.c does a request_module("cpia_usb/pp"). The attached patch against 2.6.8 removes the request_module. The problem is actually the same as is documented in debian bug #259056 which was caused by alsa autoloading some oss-modules. So I guess there might be more places in the kernel where this new locking in the module-init-tools might lead to dead-locks.
