Is it correct to read "system related issues" as performance problems
where the thread is spinning forever trying to send a message and it
can't? So the problem is mostly that it's an unbounded amount of time
before the message is sent to rpmh and this printk helps identify those
situations where that is happening?

Otherwise as you say above it's a bad system state where the rpmh
processor has gotten into a bad state like a crash? Can we recover from
that? Or is the only recovery a reboot of the system? Does the rpmh
processor reboot the system if it crashes?
