As I said elsewhere in this thread, this is not going anywhere. The
only sane decision is to revert 2a16fc93d2c9 for now.

Aside of that both NOHZ full and powerclamp need to be fixed
proper. Both of them are a complete disaster and just a steaming pile
of abuse and bandaids fixing the abuse. Read my other replies on that
before you ponder to argue.

The real solution for both things at the moment would be to make them
depend on BROKEN. I'm serious about that, really.
