This history of this set of patches correlates well with the timeline of increased power consumption from phoronix testing. IMO, the loss of power consumption does not equal the benefit of increased kernel responsiveness especially for laptops.

As one would expect this bug is present on hyperthreaded single core atom chips.
For those who want increased battery life on their atom chips...2.6.34 is running terrifically in natty.
