Are you running the SMP kernel by any chance?  I occasionally see these
messages as a result of heavy paging and was told they may be caused by
page stealing or something.  Since the ipi's for tlb invalidation don't
do handshaking, there is a tiny window where something might go wrong..

For what its worth..
