Hey Peter,
    Thanks for chasing these issues down so fast! And sorry for my slow
response here (power outage for a chunk of the day :P) I finally got the
issue reproduced and gave your two patches a whirl, but unfortunately I
get the following bug:

It looks like this line should be per_cpu_*ptr*

With that line changed I don't trigger either the BUG or the warning
Fengguang found (btw, great work again Fengguang!).

I'll send out a net patch here that includes all the fixes in a second.

thanks
