Hi,

I am noticing something strange in powertop reports.
When i run powertop with following parameters:

powertop -t 120 --html

I see following in summary section

Power Consumption Summary

0.1 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/second, 0.0 VFS ops/sec, 0.0 GFX
wakes/sec and 5375.4% CPU use

Usage	Events/s	Category	Description
2693%	 0.07	Timer	tick_sched_timer
2680%	 0.00	Timer	ehci_watchdog
0.6%	 0.00	Interrupt	[7] sched(softirq)
0.2%	 0.00	Interrupt	[1] timer(softirq)
0.2%	 0.00	Interrupt	[29] twd
0.1%	 0.00	kWork	pm_runtime_work
0.1%	 0.00	Timer	led_heartbeat_function
0.1%	 0.00	Interrupt	[9] RCU(softirq)
0.1%	 0.00	Interrupt	[57] OMAP DISPC
0.1%	 0.00	Process	rsyslogd -c5


How is percentage over 100 %...
