Ok I just remembered that not only did I expect the cpu task to never be
scheduled and it _might_ be scheduled on sched_init, it is actually
_consciously_ scheduled on hotplug cpu which I have no way of handling at the
moment. On both your configs I noticed you had hotplug cpu enabled, but
perhaps it isn't really being used on the more conservative config. So this
is something I already know I need to handle. Did your ppc that had
the "bitmap error" have hotplug cpu enabled? It might be an unrelated
bug^Wphenomenon.
