I was curious if this scenario was accounted for in the design of the
console CPU notifier. One workaround for this problem is to remove CPU_DEAD
from the possible actions in console_cpu_notify(). In fact, v1-v4 of the
patch above did not have CPU_DEAD, CPU_DYING or CPU_DOWN_FAILED in the list
of actions. I wasn't able to track down why the other cases were added in
the final patch.

Here is the background information on the CPU_{DEAD,DYING,DOWN_FAILED} cases:

That's right.
May be the change log for commit '034260d67' would have been
bit more descriptive about the CPU hot-plug events.
