I'm getting some strange behavior on my laptop.  After a few hours my
mouse and keyboard start freezing up, and my keyboard will occassionally
produce a few extra chars.  Lookking a dmesg, I get a lot of this:

devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for root0 is < 0 (-1)!

Any ideas on why it's doing that?
