However you are saying that the problem is there when you compile a
kernel with this commit as the head, and it goes away when you compile a
kernel with commit 3e9e0ca3f19e911ce13c2e6c9858fcb41a37496c as the head?

I'm confused as to how a bug in that patch could depend on
CONFIG_NFS_V4, but I'll see what I can find.
