FreeBSD poring 9.1-RC3 FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 #0 r242461: Fri Nov 2 01:17:26 CET 2012

>Description:
I run FreeBSD on an intel atom D525MWV board. On recent FreeBSD versions, I am
observing unusual load averages reported by 'top' even when 100% idle. It
happens in a normal system, in single user mode, and on official usb install
images. I have not yet confirmed if the load is real or if it's just kernel
reporting the values wrong.
Here are kernels that I have tried. Four of them are from the currently
available usb memstick installers; the 2011 one is a version I've been
successfully using for a year until downgrading recently.
8.3-RELEASE amd64 2012-04-09 -> load 0.02 after 5 minutes idle
9.0-RELEASE amd64 2012-01-03 -> load 0.02 after 5 minutes idle
10.0-CURRENT amd64 2011-11-12 (cvs) -> load 0.02 after 5 minutes idle
9.1-RC3 amd64 2012-10-30 (r242324) -> load 0.60 after 5 minutes idle
10.0-CURRENT amd64 2012-11-02 (r242464) -> load 0.60 after 5 minutes idle
>How-To-Repeat:
1) boot system on affected hardware(?)
2) leave 'top' running for a few minutes
3) observe load averages
