Perhaps something similar like: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10058 in there a reference is made to the following patch: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.25-rc2/2.6.25-rc2-mm1/broken-out/revert-send-a-single-notification-on-device-state-changes.patch Does applying that help?
