Subject: INFO: task blocked for more than 120 seconds

On 2.6.27-rc2-git4 and several previous kernels, I see several
of these messages.  E.g.:

INFO: task kjournald:665 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
INFO: task stress:17797 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
INFO: task stress:17805 blocked for more than 120 seconds.


Has anyone tracked this down?  Should I attempt to bisect it?
(on x86_64, SMP, 8 GB RAM)
