To work around this in the short term you can use this patch, in addition to the clocksource watchdog patch that Thomas brewed up.

Comments are welcome of course.   Ultimately the right solution is to change separation between the console and the HW to have a polled mode + work queue so as not to introduce any kind of latency.
