Thanks.  Arnaud, any hints?  To summarize:

 - Michael Ott reported with Debian kernel 2.6.38-3 (which is closely
   based on stable v2.6.38.2):

	syslog tell me every few seconds:
	i2c i2c-0: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0

 - Manuel Roeder reported the same and found that upstream v2.6.38
   triggers the problem and v2.6.37.6 does not.

 - Roman Mamedov finds the bug present in Debian 3.1.6-1 (which
   is closely based on stable v3.1.6) and Debian 2.6.37-2 (based on
   stable v2.6.37.2) but not Debian 2.6.37-1 (based on mainline
   v2.6.37).

The regression range described above seems a little inconsistent to
me, so maybe there's something more going on.
