Sure. Let me know if you find anything.
I managed to reproduce. With "threadirqs" and without
"tsc=reliable". I see tons of spurious TIMER softirqs.
Investigation begins! I'll let you know.
Gentle ping. Any new findings about this issue?
Yep, I'm working on a series to reduce timer softirqs. I'm almost
done, should post it soon.

I believe you guessed right:

* Timer tick raises timer softirq
* Ksoftirqd wakes up, restarts the tick
* Timer tick raises timer softirq
* ...

Thanks.
