I read http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt
but couldn't find "rcu_bh detected stall" being mentioned there.

I reported the same issue on 3.2.9 (same machine!) on the 13th of march:

Comment 1 Kevin Lyles 2012-04-22 22:25:05 UTC
I saw this or something very close to it today on kernel 3.2.12.  I was using the system at the time, but not heavily.

I originally reported the issue on Gentoo's bug tracker here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402625

This is the first time I've seen it on a vanilla kernel.  I'm happy to help track this down, but I'm not a kernel expert so I'd need some handholding.  It's not easy to reproduce -- basically just wait long enough and it will eventually happen, but long enough can be a couple of weeks.

The log follows (each line started with "Apr 22 16:40:13 localhost kernel:", removed for easier reading).  The taint is ati-drivers and the virtualbox modules.
