Here's what I did:
--- linux-2.6.9.orig/net/ipv6/icmp.c
+++ linux-2.6.9/net/ipv6/icmp.c
@@ -691,10 +691,7 @@ int __init icmpv6_init(struct net_proto_
 	struct sock *sk;
 	int err, i, j;
 
-	for (i = 0; i < NR_CPUS; i++) {
-		if (!cpu_possible(i))
-			continue;
-
+	for_each_cpu(i) {

But I still get the problem.  Further, on i386 cpu_possible() becomes
cpu_callout_map which is exported as well.
