Hi!

I used to have two cpus, and Thinkpad X60 should have two cores, but I
only see one on 4.10-rc1. This machine went through many
suspend/resume cycles. When backups finish, I'll try -rc2.
Whoever did it, he seems to have returned the cpu in -rc3. All seems
to be good now.

Actually since you have mentioned - I have checked my x60 - same problem - only one CPU. However I was running 4.8.13 with uptime 33 days, multiple sleep/wake-ups.
Installed a current EOL 4.8.17 and rebooted - I see 2 CPUs. So the issue is older then 4.10 kernel, and I suspect it is the CPU hotplug / wakeup related...
