Hi.  On an x86_64 machine, the trace below appears in the system logs
just before NFS service becomes unavailable (until a reboot).

I'm working on getting more specifics, but this machine is exporting
an XFS on an LVM logical volume on one or more AoE device.  The aoe
driver in use is not the one in 2.6.16.18 (it's aoe6-23), but I'm
asking the end user to verify that this still happens with the aoe
driver in 2.6.16.18.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping that the trace below will look familiar to
someone.  It looks to me like a 32-bit all-ones value might have been
put into a 64-bit variable by mistake.
