* maxcpus=1 fails to boot

When trying to boot with the maxcpus=1 option, the -rt kernel seems to hang 
somewhere in acpi_processor_init().

I tested mainline 2.6.21 and it does boot with maxcpus=1.  2.6.20-rt8, 
2.6.21-rt1, 2, and 4 all hang at:

Calling initcall 0xffffffff817a41df: acpi_processor_init+0x0/0xdf()

when booted with initcall_debug and maxcpus=1.  I traced this only as far as 
the call to acpi_bus_register_driver.  So this seems to have been introduced 
by the -rt patch.  I'm not sure if I should try and see when it was 
introduced (as 2.6.16-rt22 does not fail) or if I should head "down the acpi 
rabbit hole"...

Thanks,

Be careful, when sticking your head into this hole !

I try to nail it down.
