Hi,

I found this also on the R3 debian image.  There are some answers here, but not sure if they're up-to-date now...

When I bought my board a month ago I first tried the official Debian image version 2 with kernel 3.3 and it was pleagued by this bug. On the other day I built 3.4.43+ from linux-sunxi github repo and bug was fixed. A week later I compiled 3.4.61+ from same repo and this bug was reintroduced. Then I switched to 3.4.61+ from stage/sunxi-3.4 repo and bug has gone  :o  :D
Not only loadavg shows >1.00 at idle but also ondemand governor cannot switch the CPU frequency to the max possible at load, e.g. frequency stays at 400MHz at full load although the max configured speed is 912 MHz.
