i think this only occurs with cpuidle, right? drivers/cpuidle/ and 
CPU_IDLE is new in 2.6.24 so this appears to be a bug in that code (or a 
bug elsewhere triggered by that code), not a regression from v2.6.23.

this commit might also have improved things:

    touch softlockup watchdog after idling.

albeit Parag reported actual real, human-noticeable delays in system 
behavior and those cannot be false positives.
