FYI, i've started triggering hangs in -tip testing recently, during 
CPU hotplug tests:

config and bootlog attached. I'd suspect one of these patches:

684ca5c: rcu: Fix typo in rcu_irq_exit() comment header
b612ba8: rcu: Make rcupreempt_trace.c look at offline CPUs
8064d54: rcu: Make preemptable RCU scan all CPUs when summing RCU counters
2e59755: rcu: Simplify RCU CPU-hotplug notification
799e64f: cpu hotplug: Introduce cpu_notifier() to handle !HOTPLUG_CPU case
2756962: rcu: Split hierarchical RCU initialization into boot-time and CPU-online piece

Any ideas?
