I have a Dell Vostro 3300 (Core i5, etc) laptop and I've seen the "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 61s!" message twice already, with the kernel version 2.6.32-24. I'm going to collect more debug info and post it here, but see how serious this bug is for laptop owners:

Last night I shutdown my Laptop and when I saw the black screen, closed it and put it inside the case and the case into my backpack, to go home. Then, 30 min. later, I hear some crazy fan noise, open my backpack and feel some really intense heat... Men, my heart stopped! I found my laptop almost bursting into flames, the fan spinning super fast and the plastic case almost melting... Luckily I saw the bug message, shut the laptop down at time and put it open to cool faster. It still work, but I almost lost my Laptop because of this bug :(
