I see the same thing - we have a number of HP blades which use bge interfaces
and I get many watchdog timeouts on them. These are also not sharing any
interrupts

interrupt                          total       rate
irq1: atkbd0                           2          0
irq24: ciss0                   135555208         11
irq74: bge1                   1452046216        120
cpu0: timer                   2581779930        214
cpu2: timer                   2579262777        214
cpu1: timer                   2581771929        214
cpu3: timer                   2579262777        214
Total                        11909678839        989

This is 6.1 - I have a couple of boxes running 6.2 and those have not
shown any timeouts so far. They are, however, far more lightly loaded.
