Continuous warn slow path warning messages from top of the kernel tree

[Sam Gandhi]

I am using the latest git repo (3.6.-rc3) to boot my ARM mx28 based board.

When I boot this board via nfs I see continuous messages shown below.

I looked at ip_auto_config net/ipv4/ipconfig.c and I don't see
explicit prink() call although there are DBG() or pr_info/pr_err calls
but I thought those functions were slow path safe?

I was wondering if this some new regression that anybody else has seen?
