Kernel CPU usage

One of my servers is showing a consitently high CPU usage, with a fair
percentage of that in "kernel". iostat and vmstat don't show anything
out of the ordinary, as far as disk usage or memory shortage are concerned.

Does anyone have some tips on how to track down what the system is doing
spending all its time in kernel mode, and which process(es) are causing it?
