Comment 0 for bug 524281

powertop reports above 70 wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" task, and above 200 when there's any little load, running on a Core 2 Duo processor (T6500) with a single core enabled (multicore disabled in BIOS).
Will still try disabling apic, lapic, cpu in the boot parameters and reproduce it with the mainline kernel.
