This could also be done by
leaving init_idle as an init function
& doing a check in all
the cpu_idle functions in arch/process.c
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
if(smp_processor_id()!=0)
#endif
init_idle();
This would save it attempting to
call the init_idle function
the second time on the boot processor after
it has been freed by free_initmem & avoid the crash.
This patch however would be much bigger
& affect all the arches & probably would
upset more people.
