Subject: Occational lockups during boot with post 2.6.22 kernels

Current -git kernels sometimes lock up on my computer during boot. I
guess it happens about 10-20% of the time. I first saw this maybe a
week ago, but never with kernels <= 2.6.22.

The last reported info on the console is that named is started.
SysRq-T still works and reports the non-sleeping tasks below.

My guess is that wpa_supplicant and events/0 deadlock and later the
named thread also hangs when it needs a deadlocked resource.

I'm using the bcm43xx driver.
 
No lockdep errors are reported before the lockup. Earlier during boot
the kernel reports:

  Good, all 218 testcases passed! |

SysRq-T output:
