What I've excluded (happens all the time):

1) 2ms non-preemptible critical section violated 1 ms preempt threshold 
starting at schedule+0x36/0x480 and ending at do_IRQ+0xec/0x130
it's 2ms 98%. This really happens all the time. Bogus?

2) 49ms non-preemptible critical section violated 1 ms preempt threshold 
starting at sys_ioctl+0x42/0x270 and ending at sys_ioctl+0xbd/0x270
40-50 ms most of the time, 12 ms couple of times.

Let me now if you need those traces for some of these (I've built kernel 
with 8K stacks).
