You have an SMP-unsafe driver configured.
A little birdy called grep(1) told me:

$ grep -nr busy_loop drivers           
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:443:busy_loop(u_long len)
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1788:    busy_loop(HZ/25);                   /* wait 40 msec */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1793:    busy_loop(HZ/50);                   /* wait 20 msec */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1807:    busy_loop(HZ/50);                   /* wait 20 msec */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1809:    busy_loop(HZ/25);                   /* wait 40 msec */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1820:    busy_loop(HZ/2);               /* about 500ms */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1839:    busy_loop(HZ/25);                   /* wait 40 msec to let it complete */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1898:       busy_loop(HZ/50);
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:1907:       busy_loop(HZ/25);   /* wait 40 msec to let it complete */
drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.c:2000:       busy_loop(HZ/10);    /* wait 100 msec */
