FYI, I took rt6 for a very brief ride on a 64 core DL980 this morning.
Didn't have time to play with it, was just taking a peek at rt future,
so this is only an fyi (vs proper bug report with circles and arrows),
and probably not a very useful one.

After boot (bloated distro config), ksoftirqd was eating ~20% on all
CPUs, and the guy below was at 100%. While watching, box started
spewing this endlessly, with the same trace shown for all CPUs.

I'll poke it with sharp sticks when I have time (dream on) to tinker,
but the bug will likely have died of old age before then.

I booted the box with intel_idle.max_cstate=1 fwtw.
