Ok all of these symptoms are believed to be triggered by a hang during
swapon. Here we are trying to add swap in a file directly on a FAT
filesystem. Looking at a system suffering this issue we see the
following:
[ 236.224024] INFO: task swapon:8293 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Seems that we have hung during the attempt to map the blocks we are going to
use for swap.
Looking at upstream it appears there is a modification to the locking in this
routine which would previously have caused such a deadlock:

Fix _fat_bmap() locking
On swapon() path, it has already i_mutex. So, this uses i_alloc_sem
instead of it.

This commit is missing in the Jaunty kernel. Will pull this back to Jaunty
and get some test kernels built.
