Same here, and in fact I triple checked that I had the patch really
applied... and, yes, it is, and it's still crashing, with the same
(reported) dump as the one we find in Osstest's failure, as reported by
Ian.

Looking another time, both me and Osstest are probably seeing a
different issue, than the one Boris is facing. I don't see Boris' Oops,
so I can't be sure, but in my case, this is happening in
set_cpu_sibling_map(), called from smp_prepare_cpus() on the boot CPU,
not during secondary CPUs bringup.

I think it has to do with the fact that I've got CPU #0 on socket #1,
while Boris' (and perhaps Chao's too) test box have it on socket #0.

I'd be happy to test patches on my box, if that helps (although, I'm
about to leave right now, so that will be tomorrow).

Regards,
Dario
