Now that we've understood the issue that Pavel and Tim have reported, here's the new version of 24b91e360ef521a2808771633d76ebc68bd5604b that Linus reverted. I took extra care on CPU hotplug as well. Hopefully this time the fix doesn't introduce a new bug. The second patch should warn when such an issue arise.
Thanks.
