I wonder if it would be better to take a *copy* of it and put it back
after we're done taking the CPUs down? As things stand, we now have
*three* different methods of taking down all the CPUs... and *none* of
them allow a platform to override it with an NMI-based or STONITH-based 
method, which seems like something of an oversight.

That works; thanks.

FWIW I'm currently blaming my platform's firmware for my sporadic
crash-on-CPU#1 failures. If your testing includes crashes on non-boot
CPUs (perhaps using the sysrq hack I posted) and it reliably passes for
you, then let's ignore that for now.
