BUG & OOPS REPORT: /proc/scsi/ entries not properly cleaned up

I'm using 2.4.0-test9-pre7 and have a _very_ reproducable OOPS with the
SCSI layer. Everything relevant is compiled as a module (except for the
/proc support).

The test scenario is this:
(1) Boot the machine
(2) modprobe ide-scsi (note this autoloads scsi_mod but nothing else)
(3) rmmod ide-scsi
(4) ls /proc/scsi
Then the OOPS happens.

If, instead of step (4), I instead re-modprobe ide-scsi again, then an 'ls
/proc/scsi/' will show (without an immediate OOPS):

[root@zen mdharm]# ls /proc/scsi/
ide-scsi/ ide-scsi/ scsi

No, the double ide-scsi entry isn't a typo -- this is what ls reports as
being there.

The OOPS case is decoded via ksymoops below. My intuition suggests that
this is related to the fact that /proc seems to always be busy (and
therefore not umountable) at shutdown.

I'm more than willing to test patches that might fix the problem.
