Dave's first email mentioned that he had panic on softlockup enabled, 
but even with that off the box wasn't recovering.

In my trinity runs here, I've gotten softlockup warnings where the box 
eventually recovered.  I'm wondering if some of the "bad" commits in 
the bisection are really false positives where the box would have been 
able to recover if we'd killed off all the trinity procs and given it 
time to breath.
