I revoked the patch and this certainly had effect, however I still
doubt if the result is completely correct now.
It now seems that CPU4 (this one is handling the irqs now) spends more
time than the other CPUs:

        user    nice    system  idle    iowait  irq   softirq sum
cpu     4       0       412     8186    0       0       79      8681
cpu0    0       0       1       1074    0       0       1       1076
cpu1    0       0       2       1075    0       0       0       1077
cpu2    0       0       1       1075    0       0       0       1076
cpu3    0       0       1       1079    0       0       0       1080
cpu4    1       0       115     941     0       0       78      1135
cpu5    2       0       99      984     0       0       0       1085
cpu6    0       0       98      977     0       0       0       1075
cpu7    0       0       95      980     0       0       0       1075

Any suggestions where this small difference is coming from?
