Hmm. Interesting, and it sounds like we should revert that unless
somebody figures out *why* following the rules wrt cfq updates causes
problems. But I also wonder what the Ubuntu kernel config is. Does
Ubuntu enable CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y, for example? Because
regardless of any other scheduler issues, autogrouping *should* mean
that when you run some CPU hogger in one session, that should still
balance all CPU time with other sessions..

I'm not seeing anything odd on my xps13, which should have a similar
CPU to the X1 Carbon.
