I thought Fenghua Yu's upstream commits were supposed to handle that. Don't they?

8d966a0 x86, hotplug: Handle retrigger irq by the first available CPU
30242aa x86, hotplug: The first online processor saves the MTRR state
27fd185 x86, hotplug: During CPU0 online, enable x2apic, set_numa_node.
e1c467e x86, hotplug: Wake up CPU0 via NMI instead of INIT, SIPI, SIPI

42e78e9 x86-64, hotplug: Add start_cpu0() entry point to head_64.S
6e32d47 kernel/cpu.c: Add comment for priority in cpu_hotplug_pm_callback
209efae x86, hotplug, suspend: Online CPU0 for suspend or hibernate
30106c1 x86, hotplug: Support functions for CPU0 online/offline
4d25031 x86, topology: Don't offline CPU0 if any PIC irq can not be migrated out of it
