Hi, thanks for this report!
I have a feeling that the following patch might fix it. Please try it out
only if you have the time. I will also try to reproduce it when I have the
time myself.

I tested this patch on linux-next-20090310 and confirmed that this problem was
solved.
By the way, is there a possibility that delays introduced by kmemcheck trigger
false "CPU stalled" warning?
I got below warning message after applying this patch.
