Subject: High CPU load when machine is idle

Hello,

With 2.6.36-rc6, I'm seeing a load of around 0.60 when the machine is
completely idle. This is similar to what someone reported for the latest
2.6.35.x stables. This is on a core i7 machine, but I've no time to
bisect or test earlier versions right now, but I guess this is easy to
reproduce on the same plateform.

Best,
