I'm answering to my own post here.

I went to runlevel 1 to check if the problem was present, but
everything was working fine without binfmt or anything. So, i tried
loading each one of the init.d services, and the problem appeared
after loading qmail. So, i traced it to a corrupt file in my qmail
installation, one of the "run" files for programs monitored by the 
supervise system. One thing about supervise is that it's really 
persistent, so when it found the corrupt file it just kept trying 
to load it anyway :)

The file was just a very long line of CTRL-@ characters, which is just
weird because it was just fine yesterday morning. The only event was
a, umm, unscheduled reboot by a nosy person, so it maybe was corrupted
in that moment, which would be weird too as the partition is reiserfs.

After discovering it, i recovered and replaced the given file,
rebooted and everything went just fine, and my cpu cycles started being
wasted again :)
