Hi Peter,

Do you have a plan about solving this problem in the coming weeks or
will it still be present in 2.6.37 final? I am not implying any critic
in any way, just want to know a status because compared to other bugs
discussed in lkml, this one has seen very little technical proposals
towards a resolution (except your attempts). People who signed off the
discussed commit did not make any technical analysis about the bug
reported and this gives a strange feeling. Earth will not stop rotating
if it is not solved, but I still this it is quite important and affects
many users.

Even with this commit reverted, the load is incorrect in NO_HZ mode, so
revert only is not enough.
