It seems to me, that it is a 64bit cpu issue? The patch does address this problem, but as far as I can see using multiple cores more efficiently does not solve the problem, it will probably only occur less, since the system has more ressources to draw on. Still something inside the kcryptd causes the system to freeze under heavy file io.
