Public bug reported:

On ppc with 2.6.38-11-powerpc #47, udev spawns c. 40 instances, applications 
such as 
29404 root      20   0 16036 3936 3264 S 14.0  0.4   0:22.72 udisks-daemon

29920 jrh       20   0 29156 9660 6764 S 10.1  0.9   0:15.60 gdu-notificatio

  295 root      18  -2  3536 1136  428 S  7.5  0.1   0:46.40 udevd     

then conspire to hog almost all CPU, rendering the machine useless.

This did not happen with previous kernels. It also does not happen on
ia32 and x86_64 with the same kernel version.
