My 8-way x86_64 box is crashing with this patch series applied.
Quite late in boot, when modules are being loaded:

I was unable to bisect it more finely than this:
init-move-setup-of-nr_cpu_ids-to-as-early-as-possible-v3.patch
generic-percpu-infrastructure-to-rebase-the-per-cpu-area-to-zero-v3.patch OK
x86_64-fold-pda-into-per-cpu-area-v3.patch
x86_64-fold-pda-into-per-cpu-area-v3-fix.patch
x86_64-cleanup-non-smp-usage-of-cpu-maps-v3.patch BAD
because when x86_64-cleanup-non-smp-usage-of-cpu-maps-v3.patch was removed
the machine hung quite early, when playing around with TSC calibration I
think.
I'll drop 'em.
