Some "kernel mode" tasks like packet forwarding/ACL processing can use CPU without being related to a process.
12.1(2)E is not your friend, and the same goes to some old supervisor OS versions, that are likely to be on your box if it's the shipped one. Cisco PSIRT should have issued an alert about them, I really can't figure why they didn't.
