Be glad your system lived to tell about it ;-) Calling printk() from NMI
context is Russian roulette; I'm still waiting for the first report it
actually locked up :-)

That said, I'm not sure what kernel you're running, but there were some
issues with time-keeping hereabouts, but more importantly that second
timing includes the printk() call of the first -- so that's always going
to be fucked.
