Subject: BUG from text_poke() during CPU offlining

I ran into the below BUG with 32-bit 2.6.30-rc1 while offlining
all of the offlineable CPUs.  It happened when the last offlineable
CPUs was being offlined.  The problem disappeared after I reverted
the following two patches.
 - x86: implement atomic text_poke() via fixmap
   http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=78ff7fae04554b49d29226ed12536268c2500d1f
 - x86: expand irq-off region in text_poke()
