2.6.22-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This reverts the following changeset in 2.6.22.10 that caused a lot of reported problems. From: Mark Lord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> commit 4047727e5ae33f9b8d2b7766d1994ea6e5ec2991 from upstream We need to disable all CPUs other than the boot CPU (usually 0) before attempting to power-off modern SMP machines. This fixes the hang-on-poweroff issue on my MythTV SMP box, and also on Thomas Gleixner's new toybox.
