Hi Peter,

This patch was built on top of 2.6.34, where it applies cleanly. I
checked the git tree and the cpu_stop patchset from Tejun has changed
this code quite much (commit 969c79215a35b06e5e3efe69b9412f858df7856c).

The change is now required in cpu_stop_cpu_callback() in stop_machine.c.
Will post it soon. Thanks!
