I don't see it on my test systems.

The backtrace makes it look like you're doing CPU hot_un_plug during
boot, which seems a bit odd.

Or possibly it's just that the cpu_is_offline() test in do_idle() is
returning true due to some bug.

A bisect would be helpful obviously :)

That WARN shouldn't really kill the boot, do you see anything else?

Even via the path shown above I think we should have IRQs enabled, but I
guess not.
