Hmm, high wake up latency on SMP and not on UP...

Ingo, could this be due to the migrate task latency? This was where I
saw the problem with the 50ms latency running hack bench. I remember
there was a bug in the older latency tool that didn't catch this latency
before.

I'm just getting back to looking at the latest stuff. I had some
customer deliveries lately and haven't had time to look at the new
goodies.
