Hello Thomas,

Sorry but the cpuhp_issue_call() still occurs with Linus' latest tree
(commit ec3b93ae0bf4 / Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip).

This morning I discovered that the hang only occurs if I/O AT support is
enabled in the BIOS. I had enabled I/O AT support in the BIOS on February
23rd. With I/O AT support enabled the following warning appears during boot:

WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 596 at drivers/dma/ioat/dca.c:342 ioat_dca_init+0x185/0x190 [ioatdma]

In contrast with previous tests this morning I have been able to reproduce
this hang with kernel v4.10. So it's not a kernel v4.10 regression. But the
hang did not occur in a test with kernel v4.9.7. I assume this means that
the regression got introduced between the v4.9 and v4.10 kernels.

Bart.
