The only bug I see in this is:

BUG: kstopmachine:338 task might have lost a preemption check!
 [<c0103b1b>] dump_stack+0x1b/0x1f (20)
 [<c0118736>] preempt_enable_no_resched+0x4a/0x50 (20)
 [<c014224d>] restart_machine+0x1a/0x1d (12)
 [<c0142274>] do_stop+0x24/0x65 (20)
 [<c012d6de>] kthread+0x7b/0xa9 (36)
 [<c01010c5>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb (135438364)


Which I'll go and take a look at.  I need to turn on
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT on my SMP machine.

You might want to turn off:

CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW

This dumps out the biggest stack usage.  Those dumps are caused by this,
and are not bugs.  It just shows you what's using the most stack, that's
all.  I find it quite annoying, and just turn it off.
