Good idea! I added this debugging aid:

--- a/fs/sysfs/file.c
+++ b/fs/sysfs/file.c
@@ -129,6 +129,11 @@ sysfs_read_file(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
 {
        struct sysfs_buffer * buffer = file->private_data;
        ssize_t retval = 0;
+       char pathname[300], *path;
+
+       path = d_path(&(file->f_path), pathname, sizeof(pathname));
+       if (!IS_ERR(path))
+               printk("%s\n", path);
 
        mutex_lock(&buffer->mutex);
        if (buffer->needs_read_fill || *ppos == 0) {

And find some sysfs files that triggered the errors:

wfg@waimea ~/kvm% grep -hB1 'kernel paging request' /tmp/dmesg-kvm_bisect-waimea-*|grep /sys/
