We're still testing. We're still on the -31 kernel. We tried the -33 
kernel which *might* fix it, but then this happened:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1084264

So now we're testing -34 which is currently proposed. Either way, it's 
pretty clear that Ubuntu's choice of patches to backport is rather 
eclectic and a little wonky, or that nailing down load calculations went 
awry since the NOHZ stuff started, or both. At this point, I wish we'd 
stayed on CentOS.
