Is the domain very idle?  This indicates the vcpu has been idle for over
an hour.

Did anything fail or misbehave?

The soft lockup detector is supposed to deal with very idle cpus, and
with dynticks I guess its possible for a cpu to go for over an hour with
no interrupts (more likely in the virtual case where all the virtual
device interrupts are bound to vcpu 0 and there's nothing much else to
interrupt it).
