Thank you for checking, Feng.

Len, the comment above the change says:

	/*
	 * FIXME:  Design the ACPI notification to make it once per
	 * system instead of once per-cpu.  This condition is a hack
	 * to make the code that updates C-States be called once.
	 */

Is it time for this design-level change?  Or is there something obvious
that I missed when fixing the smp_processor_id() splat?

I could revert back, but use raw_smp_processor_id() rather than
smp_processor_id(), but that feels like papering over a problem rather
than fixing it.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
