I don't know what it is, I haven't finished bisecting it - but I can confirm that
I started seeing the same problem 2 or 3 weeks ago. Note that said call
trace does *NOT* require a suspend - I don't do suspend on my laptop and
I'm seeing kswapd burn CPU with similar traces.

So at least we know we're not hallucinating. :)
