The below lockup warning pops up very occasionally in kvm guest
kernels and it's bisected down to

Thanks so much for sending this. One detail I'm curious about is
that these kernels from the Bug messages seem to be v3.6-rc1 or
earlier.
Ingo had a fix 1d17d17484d40f2d5b35c79518597a2b25296996 ("time: Fix
adjustment cleanup bug in timekeeping_adjust") that landed in
3.6-rc2
Has this issue actually been seen on a 3.6-rc2+ kernel?
Sorry for the noise!
