Hi,

The latest kernel (c593e8978722f7f4a12932733cfeed6c0c74fbaa) refuses to
boot on my EeePC - after grub is finished the screen just remains black
and the only thing that does something is pressing the power button. The
problem commit seems to be:

commit 3e1a878b7ccdb31da6d9d2b855c72ad87afeba3f

x86/smpboot: Initialize secondary CPU only if master CPU will wait for it

Here's the bisection log:
