This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
cpu/cacheinfo: Fix teardown path
to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Philip Müller reported a hang when booting 32-bit 4.1 kernel on an AMD
box. A fragment of the splat was enough to pinpoint the issue:
task: f58e0000 ti: f58e8000 task.ti: f58e800
EIP: 0060:[<c135a903>] EFLAGS: 00010206 CPU: 0
EIP is at free_cache_attributes+0x83/0xd0
EAX: 00000001 EBX: f589d46c ECX: 00000090 EDX: 360c2000
ESI: 00000000 EDI: c1724a80 EBP: f58e9ec0 ESP: f58e9ea0
DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068
CR0: 8005003b CR2: 000000ac CR3: 01731000 CR4: 000006d0
cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() did check sibling CPUs cacheinfo descriptor
while the respective teardown path cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() didn't.
Fix that.
>From tglx's version: to be on the safe side, move the cacheinfo
descriptor check to free_cache_attributes(), thus cleaning up the
hotplug path a little and making this even more robust.
