    Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts
    currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces
    for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes
    longer than 120s.
    
    I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy.
    
    Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case.
    
    Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE
    state, which is used by the network file systems.
    
    I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.
