OK, then you are probably being bitten by the same bug that was biting
Pascal and Heiko.  Could you please apply the following series from -rcu?

	bf7757c3 (Merge commit 'v3.4-rc6' into HEAD)
	edc17350 (RCU_FAST_NO_HZ detection of callback adoption)
	8e03a88e (Update RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tracing for lazy callbacks)
	f2298c63 (Move RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables to rcu_dynticks structure)
	05cc0fc9 (Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets)
	477fca01 (Dump only the current CPU's buffers for idle-entry/exit warnings)
	f29075fb (The rcu_needs_cpu() function is not a quiescent state)

Of these, 05cc0fc9 (Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets) is likely
to be the most relevant.  The -rcu tree may be found at:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git

Please let me know if you have any trouble pulling this series.

							Thanx, Paul
