Oh, I just noticed that 2 important fixes which fix boot failures on
PA-RISC and mn10300 architectures haven't made it to mainline yet.

The regression was introduced in the 3.4 merge window itself (by commit
5fbd036b55 "sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness").

Links to the original posting:
PA_RISC: http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=133241790810604&w=2
mn10300: http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=133241580509804&w=2

Mikulas confirmed that this fixes the boot failure on PA-RISC:
