I jumped from rc2-mm1 to rc6-mm3 and tried dynticks for the first time:

 =======================

Full dmesg and config:
http://oioio.altervista.org/linux/nohz_soft-lockup.dmesg
http://oioio.altervista.org/linux/config-2.6.20-rc6-mm3-1

As a side note the process becomes slower and slower as it proceeds,
it's definitely noticeable during my iptables rules setup (nothing that
complex, just default policies and subnet/lan accept rules).
Building with NO_HZ=n right now.
