There's a nasty race between CPU hotplug and br_write_lock();
the latter pretty much assumes that the set of online CPUs can't change
between br_write_lock() and br_write_unlock(). Caught by Cong Meng,
solution hashed out during the last few days between me and Srivatsa S. Bhat
on l-k/fsdevel thread, appears to fix the problem in a reasonably sane
way. It'll need to go into -stable as well; all branches since 2.6.36.
Please, pull from the usual place;
