I am also seeing this issue with net-next-2.6.
Basically macvtap_put_user() and macvtap_get_user() call copy_to/from_user
from within a RCU read-side critical section.

The following patch fixes this issue by releasing the RCU read lock before
calling these routines, but instead hold a reference to q->sk.
