Ben, seems like the following patch is causing the cpu hotplug
test failure. 

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc/mm: Introduce early_init_mmu() on 64-bit

http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-March/069613.html

If i back out this patch, i am able to offline/online cpu's
without any issue.

Thanks
-Sachin
