I am still researching this. For testing I bought a test system with
Westmere-EP (Xeon E5620) which has ARAT. This system worked stable while
Intel still lists it as having the C6 errata. This leads me to the
conclusion that the HPET timer migration code (called HPET broadcast) from
Xen is the root cause. This affects all CPUs that use it - but mainly
Nehalem because of turbo mode.
Thanks for the info. I'll try disabling turbo mode in the BIOS and see if
that helps.
Let me know if there's anything I can run/do/test/etc.

If you want to check the issue I am referring to then you need to apply my patch from: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-09/msg00556.html

Do not modify the BIOS settings in any way.
