Is this the host that is hibernating or the guest?

KVM guests don't emulate the performance counters, so the nmi piece
shouldn't be functioning and the soft lockup piece just sits on top of an
hrtimer, so off the top of my head it is hard to imagine it intefering
with a sata driver.

I'll need your whole boot up log to see how the lockup detector
initialized itself.

Cheers,
Don
