Ok, long description follows. I am currently uploading the i386 kernel. Te one for amd64 will follow shortly. After some discussion the agreement was that this problem arises from the (so it seems) incorrect assumption that subsys_initcall functions will get executed in the order they are defined in the makefile. But from the debug output it clearly looks like those functions can even be executed concurrently which can cause a lot of races that were not thought of. The new kernel just moves some subsys_initcall functions into the bus.c init function. This will guarantee they are executed in an orderly fashion.
