Is this problem not a subset of the existing timer cleanup?  Timers and
modules are only a problem if the module cleanup code exits to
delete_module() while the timer is still running.  I understood that
Andrew Morton's work would force timer deletion to wait until the timer
had been fully deleted.

Of course that assumes that module cleanup deletes any timers, if not
we have a much bigger problem anyway.
