[2.4.0-test10-pre3] UART401 problem causes Oops.

After doing some detective work, I found that the culprit was a small daemon I had running that does a "double-rmmod -a" every X seconds. It was rmmod'ing the uart401 module while it was in use. I confirmed that while the MIDI file was playing, the lsmod usage count was zero, and I could manually remove it.
