What you could do is register your driver for re-initialization via a
IoRegisterDriverReinitialization() call. This is called in your DriverEntry
routine to avoid long initialization times specifically to address this
problem you are seeing.

Subject: [ntdev] Multithreading
Hi, my driver has to load a large image file onto one or many cards at
driver initialization. It takes a long time. Sometime the system will crash
because the kernel thread waits too long. I am wondering if I can use
multithread in kernel mode and how. I want to create another thread in my
driver to load this image. Could somebody give me an idea? Thanks in
advance.
