Subject:   Very strange problem with 4.7-PRERELEASE

Folks,

I am observing very strange problem with my desktop machine running
4.7-PRERELEASE (updated today). Quite often, when I'm using X/GNOME and
have some heavy CPU intensive task in the background (i.e. make world)
something wrong happens with the kernel - all commans that use kvm
stop working (top, systat etc) and system feels increadible slow,
especially when switching from one task to another. There is nothing
in kernel logs about that.

For example `systat -vm' starts with all values being blank, then waits
couple of seconds and prints "The alternate system clock has died!
Reverting to ``pigs'' display."

I've never observed such problem before and is ready to perform
any debugging necessary if somebody have any ideas about how to do it.

-Maxim
