I haven't bisected this, but something slowed down in bootup on my machine 
recently.

See the timestamps:

what happened there for almost 2 seconds in between CPU#3 and CPU#4?

It wasn't very fast before either, but it was way better:

	[    0.918412] Brought up 8 CPUs
	[    0.918562] Total of 8 processors activated (51203.34 BogoMIPS).

what is it that takes so long to bring those CPU's up?
