On an OSK, using today's GIT tree, I turned on dynamic tick using
sysfs and thought the IRQ rate (32 KHz timer) was odd.  So I did

  grep tim /proc/int*; sleep 60; grep tim /proc/int*

and saw 104551 IRQs, which is 1742 per second.  Too many!!  When
I turned dyntick off (on/off via sysfs) the same measurement
gave a more reasonable 7701 IRQs, making 128 per second.

In short, enabling dyntick got me 14x as many IRQs, instead of
shrinking the number of IRQs.  Known bug?
