This could well be an area of the kernel that needs more probing
blacklist entries.

Running the following scripts:
probe kernel.function("*@kernel/softirq.c").call {
printf ("%s -> %s\n", thread_indent(1), probefunc())
print_backtrace();
printf("\n");
}
probe kernel.function("*@kernel/softirq.c").return {
printf ("%s <- %s\n", thread_indent(-1), probefunc())
printf("\n");
}
will reboot the kernel (2.6.25-rc9, FC7) in just a short time. User
applications are just firefox switching randomly among different
screens.
The last few lines before the reboot are:
16 swapper(0): <- irq_exit

Any hints/clue why it crashes?

I attempted the script after reboot, and after 800MB of output, there
is still no crashes. Now I am at a loss at the possible reason for
these????
