Hmm...have you tried a non-MP kernel?  Have you tried nailing your test
down on each of the available CPUs?  Have you tried running various
numbers of infinite-loop CPU-burners at the same time?

Each of those might hint at the actual problem.

Maybe ktrace could use a "migrated to a different CPU" tracepoint?
