So I was running in a qemu set up with 16 cores on top of bare metal's
80 core CPU (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6138 CPU @ 2.00GHz). I just tried
it again, and I can reproduce it within first few periods:

WORKING HARD!..

You can see in the second period all the numbers drop and by period #4
(which is about 20 seconds in) anything but mmap()ing stops. When I
said "eventually" I meant about a minute tops, however long it takes
to do soft lockup detection, 23 seconds this time.

So it should be very fast.

Note that I'm running with debug kernel configuration (see [0] for
full kernel config), here are debug-related settings, in case that
makes a difference:

Should be, I guess? It might be VM vs bare metal differences, though.
I'll try to run this on bare metal with more production-like kernel
configuration to see if I can still trigger this. Will let you know
the results when I get them.
