Right, so it would be good if you could further diagnose the problem so
we can come up with a solution that cures the problem while retaining
the current 'desired' properties.

The patch you pinpointed caused a regression in that it would wake from
NOHZ mode far too often. Could it be that the now longer idle sections
cause your CPU to go into deeper idle modes and you're suffering from
idle-exit latencies?
