OK I'll run it here too on my am37xx evm. Looks like Stanley was
running both cyclictest and hackbench the same time.

And I'll also queue the following patch during the -rc cycle to
avoid apps segfaulting occasionally at random on omap3.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Enable ARM erratum 430973 for omap3

Somehow we don't have this set in omap2plus_defconfig. Without this
apps can segfault randomly on omap3. I can reproduce this easily
on am37xx-evm by doing apt-get update over NFSroot.
