Subject: [079/117] powerpc: Reset kernel stack on cpu online from cede state

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 8dbce53cc249a76e9450708d291fce5a7e29c6a1 upstream.

Cpu hotplug (offline) without dlpar operation will place cpu
in cede state and the extended_cede_processor() function will
return when resumed.

Kernel stack pointer needs to be reset before
start_secondary() is called to continue the online operation.

Added new function start_secondary_resume() to do the above
steps.
