This looks like a similar problem to that reported by Axel Thimm on
fedora-selinux-list last week, namely regular user processes running in
kernel_t.

Try doing another relabel, but make sure you have configured SELinux for
permissive mode first. Once the relabel is done, then try switching back
to enforcing mode:
* put SELINUX=permissive in /etc/sysconfig/selinux
* touch /.autorelabel
* reboot
* do a "ps uaxZ"; the only kernel_t processes should be the kernel
threads, with process names in square brackets, plus "/bin/nash /init"
