Indeed Martins patch does fix the problem:

cpu user system idle cpu user system idle
cpu0 0 0 100 cpu1 0 0 100
cpu2 0 0 100 cpu3 0 0 100
cpu4 0 0 100 cpu5 0 0 100
cpu6 0 0 100 cpu7 0 0 100
cpu8 0 0 100 cpu9 0 0 100
cpu10 0 0 100 cpu11 0 0 100
cpu12 0 0 100 cpu13 100 0 0
cpu14 0 0 100 cpu15 0 0 100

My current tree has your patch and Martins patch. So far its looking
good.
