Just so...

getting up at 6am and sitting in an airport terminal doesn't seem to
agree with me; any more silly fail here?

Subject: irq_work: Remove BUG_ON in irq_work_run()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Jun 25 07:13:07 CEST 2014

Because of a collision with 8d056c48e486 ("CPU hotplug, smp: flush any
pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline"), which ends up calling
hotplug_cfd()->flush_smp_call_function_queue()->irq_work_run(), which
is not from IRQ context.

And since that already calls irq_work_run() from the hotplug path,
remove our entire hotplug handling.
