In desperation, I started trimming down my module list as much as
possible.  I have a wifi card (1814:0301, "RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g
PCI") driven by rt61 that I am not using at all (it shipped with my
system and I never bothered to take it out, but I am using wired
networking with e1000 exclusively).

Blacklisting the "rt61" module seems to have made my system much more
stable.  So perhaps rt61 has some locking bugs?

If someone could tell me how to build a linux image and restricted
modules (I need that pesky fglrx module to see anything under X) package
from source, I could  turn on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING etc. and try to get
some more info about the specific problem.  Unfortunately I've gotten
lost trying to follow the Ubuntu kernel packaging...
