whoops, ok, I should probably convert it to use raw_smp_processor_id; I
don't think we care if we get pre-empted and the cpu changes; we use the
cpu id exactly once to grab it from the array, I think we don't need any
atomicity.  I'll convert to raw_smp_processor_id() to avoid the debug
check, unless anyone sees a problem with that ...
