This is an issue that needs handling independent of the tool stack issues pointed out. Whether we should discuss this here depends on whether we suspect the problem to be only with our kernels, or also with upstream's. It's in any event quite odd for there to be softlockups in the first place, as in the hypervisor the involved hypercalls are all preemptible afaict. I'll have to go did through the data you had provided earlier to see whether there's a complete enough (and readable) log to be able to tell where there's a lack of re-scheduling in the kernel.
