Hmm, still haven't figured this out.  I just saw this one this morning:

BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

And it is happening on multiple systems.  I am starting to wonder if it
is a bug in the soft lockup detection.  Maybe it really isn't locked up
but just momentarily appears to be.  I will try turning off the soft
lockup detection and see what happens.
