Time to make sure I've got the right number of negatives...  "I have !NO_HZ 
set" means you have unset NO_HZ which probably means you had to build your 
own kernel.

Do you have flag3 turned on?  If so, the kernel does all the work and maxpoll 
is essentially ignored.

I though there was a min to maxpoll so I'm a bit surprised you could set it 
to 1.

At least for the effect I'm discussing, it only matters if you have a PPS.
