[Bug 524281] Re: Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled

[Stefano Maggiolo]

On my netbook (single cpu Atom N450) the -power1 improves considerably
the situation: idling there is a trascurable amount of wake ups again
(very good) while working the situation is somehow better but there are
still a lot of balancing tick (a bit better).

If I understand correctly, on a single core system they should be
totally absent, isn't it?

(BTW: I'd really like if solving this bug would double battery life, but
sadly this is quite pessimistic, or optimistic depending on the point of
view)

Thanks for the backporting/patching! I'm going to try the new one.
