All the time?  Exactly the same?  If you could do something crude like hit
sysrq-P 100 times then do `dmesg|grep RIP' we could possibly determine
whether things are indeed stuck in that potential infinite loop in there.

I assume you're using CONFIG_PREEMPT?

It'd be interesting to know the interrupt rate and context switch rate
which this is going on.
