2.6.8-rc3-mm2: Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:197

I see the msg below while running on 2.6.8-rc3-mm2, but not on the plain
rc3 tree;
ditto for rc1-mm1 vs rc1, which is as far back as I've gone so far.

I'm using QLogic QLA2200 adapters and both ext2/ext3 filesystems.
The problem is very recreatable for me -- I pretty much just open a
large file on one
of the qlogic-attached devices.

I tried backing out bk-scsi.patch for the heck of it, but I still see
the problem.
