And I will bounce the question on to Jack.  I believe he will probably
pass it on to somebody more familiar with sn_hwperf.  Tony's patch looks
much clearer to me.  I would have answered that I thought this was the
right patch until I saw the '... else { put_cpu(); ...' which made me
think we need a closer look.
