    Impact: nohz powersavings and wakeup regression
    
    commit fb02fbc1 (NOHZ: restart tick
    device from irq_enter()) causes a serious wakeup regression.
    
    While the patch is correct it does not take into account that spurious
    wakeups happen on x86. A fix for this issue is available, but we just
    revert to the .27 behaviour and let long running softirqs screw
    themself.
    
    Disable it for now.
