Hmm, it's still just running constantly (note that the idle thread is
_never_ scheduled). The lion's share of the time seems to be spent in
"xpt_thrd". Note that there are several places where nothing happens except
that "xpt_thrd" runs constantly (spinning) during 10's of statclock ticks. I
would maybe start debugging that to see what in the world it is doing. Maybe
it is polling some hardware down in xpt_action() (i.e., xpt_action() for a
single bus called down into a driver and it is just spinning using polling
instead of sleeping and waiting for an interrupt).
