uml: an idle system should have zero load average
The ever-vigilant users of linode.com noticed that an idle 2.6 UML has a persistent load average of ~.4. It turns out that because the UML timer handler processed softirqs before actually delivering the tick, the tick was counted in the context of the idle thread about half the time.
