Subject: High [extra timer interrupt] count in powertop since 2.6.36

Hi,

I have been searching the list for anyone else seeing this,
but i haven't found anything yet - Any ideas on how to debug?

>From powertop:
Top causes for wakeups:
   84.7% (1673.3)   [extra timer interrupt]

Thats a little bit high in my opinion, for some reason it seems to be
ignored since the actual number of wakeups seems to be ~367 or so.

Ideas? Suggestions?
