KVM: (bisected) e9bda3b triggers PERCPU allocation failures duringmodule load

Greetings,

Putting 2.6.0 on a 40 core Westmere-EX box, hit the below. Finally got
it bisected to KVM: VMX: Auto-load on CPUs with VMX. Revert e9bda3b,
box boots clean. modprobe kvm_intel, no problem either. This happens
on at least two boxen with the attached or similar (other box was
2.6.1-rt1, so only fairly similar) config.
