To answer my own post.  I recently switched over to the latest kernel and 
drivers from Jarod's guide and have not seen this problem since.  My 
back/frontend has been up almost two days now recording lots of stuff and 
ksoftirqd is using almost no cpu.

For the record, here are some of the packages that I recently upgraded:
