dmesg

On a mostly idle system this is what I see with perf top (after exiting a
game):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:     386 irqs/sec  kernel:72.8%  exact:  0.0% [1000Hz cycles], 
(all, 6 CPUs)

When playing a game that function is still on top, albeit with a lower
percentage (7.5%).
If the function does what its name says then it should be called at most once,
when switching modes, entering standby, etc. I don't see why it is being called
during normal operation, and why is it called so many times that it makes it
the top function using the CPU...

The graphics in games is quite laggy too, maybe because of this...

My dmesg is attached.
