ok. I think what happens is that your broken sched-clock hid the real
breakage. Lets try fix the real breakage now.

I've uploaded a new sched-devel.git that is against very latest -git,
could you try ftrace (with a sufficiently large
/debug/tracing/tracing_max_entries value) - perhaps the
worst-case-wakeup-latency tracer shows large latencies? If not, then
maybe the sched_switch tracer gives a better insight into what's
happening?

on nohz it could happen - and fixed in -git. Patch looked too dangerous
for late-2.6.25 to merge.

hm, the dips shouldnt be happening normally.
