[Bug 1247107] [NEW] Runaway irqbalance consuming CPU and Memory

[Francis Ginther]

Public bug reported:

Looks like a runaway irqbalance process is consuming massive amount of
Memory and CPU. This is running on a calxeda arm server used as a build
server. Was unable to find any mention of irqbalance in /var/logs.
Hopefully apport recorded the right data.
