So... what's going on here is that someone's enabling softirqs with hard
interrupts disabled.  This is not a smart thing to do.  Unfortunately,
something is messing up the stack backtrace, so it's hard tosee what's
going on.  Could you turn on CONFIG_KALLSYMS so the kernel prints out
its symbols?  The messages may still be corrupt, but we should have more
information to help us figure out what's going on.
