The SMP hardlockup watchdog cross-checks other CPUs for lockups, which
causes xmon headaches because it's assuming interrupts hard disabled
means no watchdog troubles. Try to improve that by calling
touch_nmi_watchdog() in obvious places where secondaries are spinning.
Also annotate these spin loops with spin_begin/end calls.
