Like I said in my other reply I was running the wrong kernel when I 
wrote that (oops)... So now I am still sure it is ca7e716.

Ingo's patch makes the same change that reverting ca7e716 does here:

-	max_clock = scd->tick_gtod + TICK_NSEC;
+	max_clock = wrap_max(scd->clock, scd->tick_gtod + TICK_NSEC);


And with that change (I'm using Ingo's patch now) I can't trigger the 
hang anymore. And before, I could reliably trigger it in a short time.

Jayson
