| If you use "-ct" then you get a file you can feed into schedgraph.
| However, just reading the log, it seems that IRQ 20 keeps preempting
| the KCS worker thread preventing it from getting anything done. Also,
| there seem to be a lot of threads on CPU 0's runqueue waiting for a
| chance to run (load average of 12 or 13 the entire time). You can try
| just bumping up the max timeout from 3 seconds to higher perhaps. Not
| sure why IRQ 20 keeps firing though. It might be related to USB, so
| you could try fiddling with USB options in the BIOS perhaps, or disabling
| the USB drivers to see if that fixes IPMI.
Tried without USB in kernel:
