I also think it's a userspace problem. I found it while playing with
KDE4.1 kwin/Compiz, less than a month ago, always running on a current
vanilla git kernel: I noticed the syslog storm only recently (my bad,
because judging from the disk light I think it has always been there).

If you think it's useful I can do some test with older kernels (will
take some time btw).
