Lance's patch is probably more appropriate for -stable than the patch I
proposed -- assuming a fix is needed for -stable.

Besides those two alternatives, there is also a workaround:
$ ./scripts/config -d DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER
which may be acceptable to the interested parties (i.e. m68k users).

I don't have a preference. I'll leave it up to the bug reporters (Eero and
Geert).
