On big POWER7 boxes we see large amounts of CPU time in system
processes like workqueue and watchdog kernel threads.
We currently rebalance the entire machine each time a task goes
idle and this is very expensive on large machines. Disable newidle
balancing at the node level and rely on the scheduler tick to
rebalance across nodes.
