Owww... This could have something to do with the tick being disabled on
idle without regard for pending vmstat updates. The processor goes to
sleep and never updates the global counters. Once in awhile the processor
wakes up to deal with the statistics.
The idle logic needs to check that all differentials are folded before
going to slee. Frederic: Can we add such a check?
