yes :-) I have a really ugly workaround in my tree that is definitely 
not worth posting. I think to do this cleanly i'll add trylock_kernel(), 
and do this in main.c:

   BUG_ON(!trylock_kernel());

but there's another one that is much nastier in terms of scope:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:256
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1

 [<c0103dcd>] dump_stack+0x15/0x17

 [<c1d992ee>] start_kernel+0x125/0x376
 [<c0100210>] 0xc0100210

this is what is causing the ppc64 problems too i think.

lock_cpu_hotplug() has design problems i think: hotplug-locked sections 
are slowly spreading in the kernel, encompassing more and more code :-) 
Shouldnt the CPU hotplug lock be a spinlock to begin with?
