There seems to be a common pattern in the kernel where drivers want to call request_module() from inside a module_init() function. Currently this would deadlock. As a result, several drivers go through hoops like scheduling things via kevent, or creating custom work queues (because kevent can deadlock on them). This patch changes this to use a request_module_nowait() function macro instead, which just fires the modprobe off but doesn't wait for it, and thus avoids the original deadlock entirely. On my laptop this already results in one less kernel thread running..
