It appears from the attached file that you have also applied XFS patches
into the kernel.  Which version of the XFS patches did you apply?  Has
anyone else tried 'pvmove' with that combination of patches successfully?
It's possible we're seeing some kind of conflict between the two.

Also, in which order did you patch the kernel, and did you apply any other
patches?
