Curious.  This just broke.

i386 allmodconfig:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/p4.o: In function `smp_thermal_interrupt':

In mainline we just did this:

which I think was always wrong and has just now tripped up the linker.  I
_assume_ that function should be __attribute__((weak)).  Then again, maybe
I'm full of it.  But hey, it compiles now.
