From: Mark Lord commit 4047727e5ae33f9b8d2b7766d1994ea6e5ec2991 from upstream We need to disable all CPUs other than the boot CPU (usually 0) before attempting to power-off modern SMP machines. This fixes the hang-on-poweroff issue on my MythTV SMP box, and also on Thomas Gleixner's new toybox. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "Rafael J.
