Fixed in r19001. Please re-test; it fixes the problem for me (i.e.,
no need to manually specify sched_yield=0).
BTW, this never came up before because:
- the ODLS used to use paffinity, but before PLPA supported the
topology stuff and therefore always returned the number of processors
- when we updated PLPA, the ODLS wasn't using paffinity anymore
- we only re-updated ODLS to use paffinity recently, and that's when
this problem surfaced
