Is this somewhat reproducible?

Just the one occurance of it, with rc3-git7.
I've now moved on to -rc4.

HOWEVER, google does find a clue. We've had reports of something somewhat similar before: googling for "__mutex_lock_slowpath" and "sysfs_dir_open" shows for example

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/18/72

where the thread ended up first blaming sound, but then deciding that maybe it was DRM-related. However, you don't seem to have any AGP or DRM support at all, so maybe it really _is_ a sound problem.

Mark - can you verify that you don't have any DRM support in your kernel?

# CONFIG_DRM is not set

(but I'm about to change that!).
