(dropping the e1000 guys, it seems unnecessary to keep spamming them
with this issue when it's unlikely to be anything to do with them. I've
left their list on for now so they know. I'd suggest dropping it from
any replies.)

FYI I've repro'd with
commit a551b98d5f6fce5897d497abd8bfb262efb33d2a
Merge: d1c6d2e... 50bed2e...
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Sep 11 11:50:15 2008 -0700
Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer
which was the latest git a few days back.
I'm going to start bisecting between v2.6.25 and v2.6.26. There's 173
commits in fs/nfs* net/sunrpc in that interval so with a day per test I
should have something next week...
Ian.
