Yep, this does fix the soft lockups for me, thanks! However, if I do a:

# find /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/machine -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name cpu.scheduled -exec /bin/sh -c "echo 1 > {} " \;

which should co-schedule all the cgroups for emulator and vcpu threads,
I see the same warning I mentioned in my other e-mail:
