What I did was:

for i in {2..23} ; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/online ; done
while usleep 50000 ; do echo 1 > /debug/smp_call_test ; done &
while :; do echo $i > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online ; let i^=1 ; done

and this has been running for well over 30 minutes.. is there anything
else one needs to do?
