[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux: panic/shutdown handling adjustments
Prevent interrupts (and hence possibly scheduler operations) from
occuring on (against) a CPU after removing it from cpu_online_map
during panic/shutdown.
(Background: I found it quite annoying to see scheduler related
badness or BUG messages after a panic, eventually even leading to
important information scrolling off the screen.)
As usual, written and tested against 2.6.23 and made apply against
2.6.18 without further testing.
