I've got myself a physical server to play with, and running trinity on it
seems to cause similar stalls:

 2338.389210] INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU[ 2338.429153] INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:[ 2338.429164] 	16: (5999 ticks this GP) idle=4b5/140000000000001/0 softirq=24859/24860 last_accelerate: 039d/1b78, nonlazy_posted: 64, ..

Oddly enough, there's no stacktrace...
