That would be helpful. Thanks. I saw that you have CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG 
enabled.

So the output of

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu*/domain*/*

would be handy too.

The difference to the Intel machine I tested on is that yours is a "dual 
single core CPU with hyper-threading' and mine is a 'dual core with 
hyper-threading'

yours:
$ cat cpuinfo.out | grep '^physical\|^core\|^cpu cores'
physical id	: 0
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 1
physical id	: 3
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 1
physical id	: 0
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 1
physical id	: 3
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 1

mine:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^physical\|^core\|^cpu cores'
physical id	: 0
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 2
physical id	: 0
core id		: 0
cpu cores	: 2
physical id	: 0
core id		: 1
cpu cores	: 2
physical id	: 0
core id		: 1
cpu cores	: 2

Just to make sure, you do have 'CONFIG_X86_32=y' and '# CONFIG_NUMA is 
not set' in your build?
