So from the above trace it's clear where it goes south:

CPU3 is the last active CPU and goes idle. So it should take care of the
pending events, but it does not.

This is the next trace entry where CPU0 magically comes back to life.

[  236.487393]   <idle>-0         0d.s.. 162001359us : timer_cancel: timer=8c725d84

8ca1836769d758e4fbf5851bb81e181c52193f5d is related, but dos not fully
explain the fail. I haven't yet spotted where this goes into lala land.
