ksoftirq should normally use more than a tiny percent of the cpu, your 
system is under high interrupt load which causes this behavior.

Often it's related to a situation when a high speed network card 
receives a very large number of packets in a short time frame.
Driver of your network card misconfigured/messed up?
What does:
