This is probably a vnode lock leak or deadlock.  As it looks like you have 
both the ability to get into the debugger and also a serial or other 
remote console, the output of:

   show allpcpu
   alltrace
   show lockedvnods
   show allocks

would be helpful.  There are also "options DEBUG_LOCKS" which extends the 
debugging information available via "show lockedvnods" with information 
about where the lock was acquired, which can be quite helpful.
