AIUI yes, but it looks like we've just completely lost the CPU - there's
more attempts to talk to it visible in the log:

but none of them appear to cause CPU 3 to respond.  Note that 32 bit ARM
is just using a regular IPI rather than something that's actually a NMI
so this isn't hugely out of the ordinary, I'd guess it's stuck with
interrupts masked.
