Ok  - played lengthy game between 2.6.29 which appeared to be ok and 2.6.30

And the winner is: ea781f197d6a835cbb93a0bf88ee1696296ed8aa
netfilter: nf_conntrack: use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and get rid of call_rcu()

The error is actually being hit by  libvirtd networking rules added
during boot for my kvm usage.
(Which I noticed after some time...  leading my game into wrong
direction ;))....

Here are the some last bisect entries:

Unfortunately the commit cannot be reverted with current tree - thus I
cannot easily check if it's the only problem.
(warning: too many files (created: 3096 deleted: 1096), skipping
inexact rename detection
Automatic revert failed.  After resolving the conflicts,)
