Oh, you can't do this here, attach_domains does a synchronize_kernel.
So take it out, it doesn't do anything anyway, does it?
I put that in to prevent hangs with CONFIG_PREEMPT turned on, but
clearly didn't test it with preempt turned on. Looks like all I need to do here is a local_irq_disable
I suggest you also use some sort of locking to prevent concurrent rebuilds
and rebuilds racing with cpu hotplug. You could probably have a static
semaphore around rebuild_sched_domains, and take lock_cpu_hotplug here too.
I already do a lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpuset.c before calling rebuild_sched_domains and also am holding cpuset_sem, so that should take
care of both hotplug and concurrent rebuilds
