N/P, as I've already found out CPU_STARTING isn't a suitable location
either.

How about something like the below...

Subject: rcu: Remove waitqueue usage for cpu,node and boost kthreads
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu May 19 11:27:39 CEST 2011

Since wait-queue usage is inconsistent (node) and generally not needed
since we know exactly which thread to wake, rip it out.

The problem is that wake_up() only issues an actual wake-up when there's
a thread waiting on the queue which means we need an extra, explicit,
wakeup to kick-start the kthread itself (they're born sleeping).

Now, since we already know which exact thread we want to wake up,
there's not point really in enqueing it on a waitqueue. So provide Paul
with a nice rcu_wait() macro to replace wait_event_interruptible() with
and rip out all the waitqueue stuff.

This moves us to an explicit, unconditional, wake_up_process() which can
be used to wake us from both conditions.
