There's a newer patch in

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/10/343

which I think should replace the 2008/3/10/91 one, but which needs
testing.

Jeff, does that one ("keep rd->online and cpu_online_map in sync") fix the
problem for you?

(Andrew - I saw you say that the older patch fixed things for you, does
the newer one - on its own - also do so?)
