I had a previous instance of the problem with v2.6.29-rc8 after about
six days of uptime. The kernel before that was 2.6.29-rc7ish, ran OK
for a couple of days. But since I don't know how to reproduce it
reliably it's hard to say which kernel is truly good.

No, no messages like that. I do however get timing-related errors at
about the time the soft lockup detector indicates the problem began.

With 2.6.29 I got

Mar 29 18:45:48 burly kernel: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 532189008 ns)
Mar 29 18:46:11 burly kernel: wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:1a:70:ee:7c:d6 - assume out of range
Mar 29 18:46:34 burly kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [swapper:0]

and with 2.6.29-rc8 I got

Mar 20 21:19:59 burly kernel: CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec
Mar 20 21:21:02 burly kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [swapper:0]

but maybe these just symptoms.
