Dear Maintainer,

   * What exactly did you do?
Before the kernel panic I was working with Scribus, zooming in. At the same
time there was running skype, iceweasel and bunch of other applications. This
might be related to the zooming, but who knows.
I have virtualbox and nvidia graphics (Intel and Quadro NVS 4200M dual card).

I took a photo of the panic message on the screen. I hope to attach it later.

VirtualBox tried to acquire a spinlock during an IPI.  On a realtime
kernel this is not allowed; VirtualBox must use a 'raw spinlock' here.
(That also works on a mainline kernel, where it is the same as a regular
spinlock.)
