I've uploaded a pair of rc6-based kernels, rc6-nopatch1 and rc6-power3.
The 'nopatch' kernel is the baseline to compare against, and rc6-power3
has the proposed revert, the same as rc5-power3. Between these two
kernels, the only difference is the proposed change.

I'd like to see some testing for the responsiveness issue with these two
kernels. Try to quantify the issue in some way if you can. For example,
if the CPU usage is different between the two kernels, then I'd like to
see the numbers from top for both kernels.

If we confirm that the patch is indeed the cause of the problem, I'll
relay the message to the developers and they'll figure out what to do
next.
