i think SCSI and libata is innocent here.

weird. We are holding base->lock#2 [CPU#1's timer base lock], _and_ we
execute restore_nocheck - which is a return-to-userspace thing.

unfortunately the stacktrace provides no clues of how we got here.
For such nasty cases i have a kernel tracing patch prepared, you can get
it from:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/latency-tracing-lockdep.patch

just apply it ontop of your current tree and accept all the new .config
options as the kernel suggests them to you.

I can't boot with that patch. I even don't see "Uncompressing
Linux..." - machine reboots.
I have 2.6.17-rc5-mm1 +
genirq-cleanup-remove-irq_descp-fix.patch
lock-validator-irqtrace-support-non-x86-architectures.patch
lock-validator-special-locking-sb-s_umount-2-fix.patch
from hot fixes
+
Arjan's net/ipv4/igmp.c patch.

BTW. I got error when compiling kernel/latency.c, so I change
if (DEBUG_WARN_ON((val < PREEMPT_MASK) && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_MASK))))

to

if (DEBUG_WARN_ON((val < PREEMPT_MASK) && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_MASK)))

Here is config
