When filesystem stress on ext2/3 mounted partition with the 2.6.25-rc6 kernel 
over the powerpc box, following calls traces are seen for more than 1000 times.

And when the file system stress in run on jfs mounted partition kernel bug is
seen.

INFO: task fsstress:30559 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
