Interesting find. Found via code review or via testing? If via 
testing, what is the symptom of the bug when it hits - did you 
see CPU hotplug stress-tests hanging? Crashing too perhaps? How 
frequently did it occur?

It also appears we introduced this bug at around 2.6.26 (when 
the CPU hotplug code was rewritten) - or had it before that as 
well.

We are late in -rc's so i'm trying to scope whether it's a 
2.6.29 must-have or can wait for 2.6.30.
