Looks quite fine after some basic tests, much saner than without the
patch. A bit slow to go down, but I reach 0.00 after enough time being
idle.

Can't tell about the behavior after hours of uptime, of course, but the
values during the first minutes after bootup seems OK; without the
patch, they are evidently wrong...

Maybe commit this after some more reviews in the next 1 or 2 days, and
maybe think about further tweaking during 2.6.37?
