My patch caffcdd8d27ba78730d5540396ce72ad022aff2c got rid of 
cpumask_clear(sched_group_cpus(sg)); and sg->sgp->power = 0; so 
reverting it (and replacing sg->sgp->power = 0 with
sg->sgc->capacity = 0) should cure it too. (although the missing 
cpumask_clear() is the culprit on your machine here).

Could I ask you to share the content of your /proc/cpuinfo file? I 
suspect it might be the same topology as the one Bruno just sent out 
(the one of a dual single core CPU with hyper-threading ?)
