I think it's a false-positive.

This "soft lockup" message has been appearing for me for quite some time now
(actually since the softlockup patch made it into -mm ;-)), in a
non-reproducible manner, but I haven't been able to nail it down.

Still, I thought it was x86-64-specific, but your machine is an i386,
so there's more to it, apparently.  Probably there's missing
touch_softlockup_watchdog() somewhere, or the timer .suspend()/.resume()
routines need some additional review.

Greetings,
Rafael
