Argh, Suresh, any idea what could be different and relevant to this issue between WSM and SNB -EP ?
Tim, can you see the problem on the desktop SNB part? That's the only SNB I have available.

Ah, but your .config has:
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y
and systemd, when cpu-cgroup is available, will automagically use it.
Could you disable those two CONFIG knobs and see if it persists?
If it goes away, its the cgroup balancing, if its still there its elsewhere.
