also below is a softlockup-debug patch that might be useful, which adds 
a tick/tock output so it spams the console once per second but can show 
the dynamics of lockups (and other delays).

------------------->
Subject: [patch] softlockup: add /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_print_tick
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

/proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_print_tick tunable:

 0: off
 1: print tick/tock messages in softlockup irq and task.
 2: also print stack dump
