[PATCH] 2.4.10-pre13: ATM drivers cause panic

[Till Immanuel Patzschke]

Hi,

seems a couple of spin_lock(s) and a spin_unlock was missing.
Why didn't this problem show up with earlier releases ???
Anyways, please find a (quick) patch below. It would be great if this patch or
any other similar could make it into the next release!
Thanks,

Immanuel
