This behaviour (that load balancing is messed up) is now almost
continuous with both current tip/master and current Linus git. On the
first test after booting, it seems to work okay (although there are
still issues with fairness). On every subsequent test, fairness is good
but it only uses one of the two cpus.

Also, building a kernel with "-j10" results in one cpu being mostly idle
while the other one is 100% busy. It used to be both 100% busy--if I get
time today I may try bisecting it.
