Subject: Circular vma locking with kvm, seems to be mmu notifiers related

Got this on the latest mainline git.
There are already a couple of lockdep/kvm threads. So maybe it's known.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.27-rc2 #36
---------------------------------------------
qemu-system-x86/3445 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&anon_vma->lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8029f84d>] mm_take_all_locks+0x8d/0xf0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&anon_vma->lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8029f84d>] mm_take_all_locks+0x8d/0xf0

other info that might help us debug this:
4 locks held by qemu-system-x86/3445:
 #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff802b2009>]
do_mmu_notifier_register+0xe9/0x140
 #1:  (mm_all_locks_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8029f7e7>]
mm_take_all_locks+0x27/0xf0
 #2:  (&inode->i_data.i_mmap_lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8029f877>]
mm_take_all_locks+0xb7/0xf0
 #3:  (&anon_vma->lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8029f84d>]
mm_take_all_locks+0x8d/0xf0
