This variable is only inc-ed + read, it is never reset to 0
so the "while (atomic_read(t) < all_cpus)"
check only works for the first test run.

Also even static atomic_t variables must be initialized, you cannot
assume that using using zeroed mem is a valid value for an atomic_t.

And this is also shared between all smt pairs, so if 2 "real"
CPU cores with both 2 sibblings are asked to run IFS tests at
the same time, then array_cpus_out will get increased 4 times
in total, breaking the wait_for_sibbling loop as soon as
the counter reaches 2, so before the tests are done.

It looks like this bit needs to be reworked so that the busy spinning
the sibbling uses per "real" cpu core data and so that the counter
is reset before the tests are started.

Hans
