Looking at what you posted. I think the problem is most like a small set o resources being used by a large number of processes. It is not one process, but the sum of them all that is chewing cycles.

I am running a Dell PE R815 with 4 x AMD 12 core CPUs with 128GB of RAM and a RAID 5 array of 6 SAS disks.

no-involuntary-power-cycles(9P) Kernel Properties for Drivers no-involuntary-power-cycles(9P)
NAME
no-involuntary-power-cycles - device property to prevent involuntary power cycles
DESCRIPTION
A device that might be damaged by power cycles should export the boolean (zero length) property no-involuntary-power-cycles to notify the
system that all power cycles for the device must be under the control of the device driver.
The presence of this property prevents power from being removed from a device or any ancestor of the device while the device driver is
detached, unless the device was voluntarily powered off as a result of the device driver calling pm_lower_power(9F).
The presence of no-involuntary-power-cycles also forces attachment of the device driver during a CPR suspend operation and prevents the
suspend from taking place, unless the device driver returns DDI_SUCCESS when its detach(9E) entry point is called with DDI_SUSPEND.
The presence of no-involuntary-power-cycles does not prevent the system from being powered off due to a halt(1M) or uadmin(1M) invocation,
except for CPR suspend.
This property can be exported by a device that is not power manageable, in which case power is not removed from the device or from any of
its ancestors, even when the driver for the device and the drivers for its ancestors are detached.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Use of Property in Driver's Configuration File
The following is an example of a no-involuntary-power-cycles entry in a driver's .conf file:
no-involuntary-power-cycles=1;
...
Example 2 Use of Property in attach() Function
The following is an example of how the preceding .conf file entry would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of a driver:
xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd)
{
...
if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP,
"no-involuntary-power-cycles", NULL, 0) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS)
goto failed;
...
}
