Already queued. I'd say #4 is a bug fix as well, though I
fundamentally hate the ass backwards semantics of that new function.

It is a bug fix, but I don't like it either. Note, that the patch didn't
update the pin_current_cpu() code, which would have to be done too (to
be a full fix).

I know.
 

But I was also thinking that as a work around, as we plan on changing
this code anyway. Instead of adding a new API which is ass backwards,
just encompass the cpu_hotplug.lock instead. Something like this:

Thought about that already. It's way less fugly.
