This patch caused hard lockups for me after ~35 minutes of casual use
(twice).  I've attached the oopses.  I'm running a Fedora 16 machine,
Lenovo T420 (i5-2540M w/ VT-d enabled), and at each time had a Windows
7 KVM guest idling (not sure if that is relevant).  With this patch
reverted, I've had ~ 6 hours of oops free uptime.

Let me know what additional information I can provide, or if there is
anything I can test to help narrow the issue down.

yours,
Bobby
