How, may I ask? cpuup_prepare in the hotplug notifier should always
run before start_cpu_timer.
I'm not fully sure, but I have the oops to prove it :)

I still suspect that this has something to do with Pekka's changing the
boot order for allocator bootstrap. Can we clarify why these problems
exist before we try band aid?

I don't see how my changes broke things but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. Cache reaping is still setup from cpucache_init() which is an initcall which is not affected by my changes AFAICT and from cpuup_callback() which shoulda also not be affected.
