Spoke too soon it seems, was able to make the vkernel hang in the umtxsl state
again.
The problem seems to be the combination of -n X (X > 1) and without -l (so
without locking the threads to specific cpus).
When it got stuck, but wasn't in the umtxsl state (it was using the CPU, but
doing nothing useful) the backtrace looked like (part of the gdb session):
Program received signal SIGINFO, Information request.
