When I boot that .config and use the sched_debug boot param I get lots
of interesting stuff:

[    1.187507] CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
[    1.191431]  domain 0: span 0-5 level MC

Looks like something is totally screwy there and we start the
load-balancer before we actually build the sched domain tree or
something silly like that.

Will try and figure out how the heck that's happening, Ingo any clue?
