After updating my kernel to 3.0.4 I noticed such an error after halting my ks8695 based system running Debian/Buildroot:

Will now halt.
System halted.
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [halt:2132]

Pid: 2132, comm:                 halt

This commit seems to be responsible for this behavior:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3d3f78d752bfada5b6041f2f7bd0833d8bdf7a4a

earlier kernel (2.6.33 for example) makes not trouble with its empty machine_halt(). I get this behavior because of while(1) loop. If I remove this line, the system behaves as expected. 

What is the reason for this loop? Is it relevant for single core systems?

Regards,
Yegor
