Oh crap. You are totaly right. I messed with quilt on that tree to bisect that thing
with LOCKDEP. A few patches from rt series were left unapplied somehow :/ Sorry for
the noise then.

BTW this is the gdb output which ofcourse is bogus.

(gdb) l*0xc0100e35
0xc0100e35 is in cpu_idle (arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c:203).
198                             __get_cpu_var(irq_stat).idle_timestamp = jiffies;
199                             idle();
200                     }
201                     tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick();
202                     preempt_enable_no_resched();
203                     schedule();
204                     preempt_disable();
205             }
206     }
