Hmm. But the user (migrate_swap_stop) should check cpu_active() anyway?
The cpu_active() checks in stop_two_cpus() can only help to ensure that
multi_cpu_stop() won't hang. CPU_DOWN_PREPARE can deactivate either CPU
right after the check?
Or stop_two_cpus() needs get_online_cpus(). Or I missed something.
Oleg.
