Subject: [2.6.28.7] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]
 code: pageattr-test/207

Booting the most recent stable kernel 2.6.28.7 on my workhorse machine
(Pentium D, openSUSE 10.3 32 bit userspace) produces rather a lot of
the following BUG messages:

<3>BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: pageattr-test/207

They occur regularly in bursts of ten, separated by 30 second break.
The previous kernel:

ts@...on:~> uname -a
Linux xenon 2.6.28.6-testing #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 18 21:05:30 CET 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

with identical config and userspace (double-checked this time ;-)
runs quite BUG-free.
