So weird...

Ok I'm going to need serious traces. Can you please add this boot option?

    trace_event=hrtimer_cancel,hrtimer_start,hrtimer_expire_entry

And please also apply the following (on top of tip/tmp.tmp), it would be interesting to see
the resulting trace file from the CPU where the warning triggers.

Thanks Ingo!
