Yes, sorry, I should have been more precise in my initial report: your
patch was not applied on top of vanilla 3.8-rc7, but a few other patches
were also present. Seems the ones impacting load_balance are from
Frederic's nohz work
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.8-rc6-nohz4)

The patches from there modifying load_balance are:
- "sched: Update nohz rq clock before searching busiest group on load balancing"
- "sched: Update clock of nohz busiest rq before balancing"

In this test, I did not use any kernel parameter related to this
patchset (full_nohz, etc.).

I am adding Frederic in Cc, not sure if the breakage is to be
investigated on your side or his...


Thanks for your explanations,
