It's stuck in this loop:
loop:
pause
mov 0x18(%rcx),%edx
and $0x1,%edx
jne loop
which is csd_lock_wait().
Judging by the offset in smp_call_function_many(), it's the final one
(there's two: the other one is part of "csd_lock()"). But that's just
a guess.
Anyway, it means that we're waiting for another CPU to finish
processing an IPI - either a previous one we sent asynchronously (if
it's the earlier csd_lock() case) or the TLB IPI we just sent and
we're waiting for completion of.

Ouch. Some IPI sending/receiving problem would be very very painful to
debug if it's hw related.
