It is a known bug: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1205.3/00267.html
Also http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/3-4-sunrpc-oops-during-shutdown-help-207547431.html
Still happens with 3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64.
This one feel through the cracks. We have traction on it in another bug, so duping it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 830862 ***
