Ah, the commit was done after -rc2, sorry.

I have a couple of questions, then:
- Does it fail identically for all CPUs or for CPU4 and above only?
- Did previous kernels, most importantly 2.6.26, work correctly?

Also, can you please attach dmesg output, including the offlining of a CPU
that would later lead to the problem with cpu_up(), to the Bugzilla entry at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11337 ?

Thanks,
Rafael
