I have some fairly strange things going on with this kernel.

First of all, during boot, I end up with these two entries.
BUG: wq(events) setscheduler() returned: -22.
BUG: wq(events) setscheduler() returned: -22.

After boot, it takes a very long time for KDE to finish loading... more
than five minutes for the desktop background to finally appear.  Tasks
which are doing nothing but a ~50ms gettimeofday() select() idle loop
show up in top as using 1 to 3 percent cpu, though strace of these looks
fine.  Starting any threaded app takes ages, whereas plain-jane things
like gcc work fine.  For example, if I fire up xmms, the gui comes up
quickly, but it takes over three minutes from the time I poke play until
the first sound is emitted.  Starting evolution takes even longer.

Hoping that something might show up while running glibc-2.4 make check
to save me from wading through huge truckloads of strace, I tried it.
It repeatedly goes boom.  RT29 goes boom the same way, but doesn't
exhibit the slow threaded app symptom.  Drat.
