[2.6.21.1] soft lockup detected on CPU#1 - timers

[Folkert van Heusden]

Hi,

Suddenly out of the blue (NO powertop was running or so) my system threw
a message in the logging about a soft lockup:

[330718.331426] BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!

[330718.333579]  =======================

I'm a little puzzled why cpu_idle is called anyway as the load of the
system is on average at least 2.5 (see
