ok, that's forcedeth. Does that behavior go away if you revert the
change below, via patch -p0 -R ?
but in general, -rt will track IRQ cpu usage accurately, while mainline
does not measure it at all when in idle. So a frequent IRQ on mainline
might be using up similar amounts of of CPU time as well, but it's not
reported.
