Crap, you're right, either notify_cpu_starting() is done too early or
smp_store_cpu_info() is done too late.
Since smp_store_cpu_info() relies on the result of calibrate_delay() we
can't easily change that order, but since there really isn't any other
CPU_STARTING user in tree (I appear to have created the first?!) we can
easily move that notifier thing later.
(What's up with that IRQ-enable over calibrate_delay(), can't we simply
enable the NMI watchdog later?)
So I guess something like the below should work:
