Subject: [patch] KVM: T60 resume fix
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>

my T60 laptop does not resume correctly due to KVM attempting to send an 
IPI to a CPU that might be down (or not up yet). (Doing so also triggers 
the send_IPI_mask_bitmask() warning in arch/i386/kernel/smp.c, line 
732.)

with this fix applied my laptop does not hang during resume.

[ KVM will have to disable/enable virtualization on the CPU itself that
  goes down / comes up, not via an IPI sent from the requesting CPU. ]
