I think there might be two bugs here. Something regarding bonding, which I've seen on our Dell machines with Centos 5 too.
And then a general cpu softlock problem, which I'm also experiencing with Hardy as a Xen guest - that I think is Xen related (I see it come up with various processes - whatever is busy really). This bug here is probably the best place to report those types of problems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/259487
