It happens on both 3.5.0 and 3.6-rc1. Will bisect (try older kernels) help?
Bisect is handy for me :)

Sorry the back trace in the original email only happens in _one_ test box.
That makes it hard to reproduce..

The more common test boxes see these traces (with different config).
I'll send full config/dmesg for the first one in another email.
