Thomas' patches in timers/core do fix this issue, so no revert will be 
necessary in linux-next when the next -mm is released.

Looks like a bootstrap issue since is appears as though `local_cpus' is 
being read by some initscript on your T60p and mine doesn't suffer from 
the same problem (it isn't read at all on mine).

CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS should be able to diagnose it when you get back 
from traveling.
