Pulling cbe... list off the cc because it is giving annoying 'too many
recipients' warnings.

This patch should do the trick.  Arnd, can you try this to make sure it
solves the issue?  Also, if you get a chance, could you do a quick s390
boot of it?  It was the only arch touched by this whole thing.

It compiles on all of my i386 .configs.

The following patch fixes an oops experienced on the Cell architecture
when init-time functions, early_*(), are called at runtime.  It alters
the call paths to make sure that the callers explicitly say whether the
call is being made on behalf of a hotplug even, or happening at
boot-time.
