Ok, but that does not change the fact that we are stuck in
smp_function_call land.

Enabling softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace will probably not help much as
we will end up waiting for csd_lock again :(

Is the machine still accesible when this happens? If yes, we might
enable a few trace points and functions and read out the trace
buffer. If not, we could just panic the machine and dump the trace
buffer over serial.

Sigh
