yeah. I tried !hres and !dynticks too and that doesnt make any
difference to the end result - so my guess is on the NMI watchdog
re-programming thing on K8 CPUs (running the 32-bit kernel), which is
done in every NMI tick. check_watchdog() for some reason thought there's
no NMI, and later on an NMI still arrived? Something like that.

vanilla kernel works fine.
