Thanks for your help: it does indeed fix the problem.

Now I have two side questions:
	- the code is no more symetric "subsys_initcall" -> "module_exit". Do
not know if it is "normal" but I love symmetry in code :-). Did not test
it still works as a module...
	- Who takes the responsability to push a patch to Linus? I guess it is
urgent unless he plans a rc7
