My boxen, including 64 core DL980 that ran hotplug stress for 3 hours
yesterday with pre-pushdown rwlocks, say the migrate_disable/enable
pushdown patches are very definitely busted.

Instead of whacking selective bits, as I did to verify that the rwlock
changes were indeed causing hotplug stress deadlock woes, I'm eyeballing
the lot, twiddling primitives to look like I think they should, after
which I'll let my boxen express their opinions of the result.
