Subject: system hang on latest git

I pulled Linus' tree this morning (git head = 0ba6c33bcddc64a54b5f1c25a696c4767dc76292)
and built for ia64 (using arch/ia64/configs/tiger_defconfig).   System booted
OK, but when I stressed it a little (building another kernel with "make -j32")
it hung.

The console has a bunch (98) of warnings about tasks blocked for more than 120
seconds like this:
INFO: task grep:9168 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

[The stack trace has several variations ... some from sys_read(), some from
sys_open(), some from sys_execve(), some from sys_mmap() etc. 84/98 stack
traces pass through the touch_atime->__mark_inode_dirty path ... all 98
are attached]

A quick dig into processor state shows 8 cpus are idle.  7 are spinning
in __spin_lock_irq() from __make_request() and one is in spin_lock() from
as_merged_requests().
