Using Linus's suggested technique, I bisected it down to this commit:

Author: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Date:   Fri Aug 14 15:47:30 2009 +0200

    timekeeping: Update clocksource with stop_machine
    
    update_wall_time calls change_clocksource HZ times per second to check
    if a new clock source is available. In close to 100% of all calls
    there is no new clock. Replace the tick based check by an update done
    with stop_machine.

Unfortunately there are a bunch of patches I'm trying to get in shape
to push to Linus (the merge window coincided unfortunately with
LinuxCon/Plumbeer's so I'm a bit behind) so I haven't had a chance to
take it further.  I'll try reverting each of the above two patches,
and report back in a day or two.
