Compiled 2.6.34-rc5 stock kernel.  Non-tainted with nvidia (had not
built the nvidia driver module at time of testing).

Did modprobe pvrusb2 and got normal stuff:

Did a rmmod pvrusb2 and got the same oops:

I saw an oops that I was unable to repeat that talked about Poison
Overwritten.  It appears that 6b6b6b6b..... is a marker that detects a
random write to a defined structure and/or memory page.  There were
also comments about Task Structure being fixed.  These are kernel
issues.



The more I read, the more I believe that this oops is due to some
underlying kernel issue and not the pvrusb2 driver.

The pvrusb2 driver works fine when loaded.  I just can't unload it
without generating an oops.
