This patch should be applied.  I finally got around to doing some more
testing with it.  If a CPU fails to start, currently we get messages
like the following for subsequent CPU's:


CPU 17: nasid 18, slice 0, cnode 9
CPU 17: base freq 0.000MHz, ITC ratio\x10/2, ITC freq\x1000.000MHz
Calibrating delay loop... 1494.72 BogoMIPS
phys CPU#17 (0x12) not responding - cannot use it.               <<-BOGUS


The patch below fixes this problem.  This is the same patch as before,
reposted just to make things easier.  It is against
2.4.21-pre5-ia64-0303012.

Thanks,
mh
