Oh, I completely misread the original bug report, and then didn't read
your confirmation email right.

I thought you had a slower build of the different kernels (when
building on the same kernel), and that the _build_ itself had slowed
down for some reason. But you're actually saying that doing the _same_
build actually takes longer when running on 4.9-rc1.

My bad.

There are a few small cpufreq changes there in between commit
29fbff8698fc (that you reported was fine - please tell me I got _that_
right, at least?) and 4.9-rc1. Adding Rafael to the cc.

That said, none of them look all that likely to me. It *would* be good
if you could bisect it a bit (perhaps not fully, but a couple of
bisection steps to narrow down what area it is).
