This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
hv: allocate synic pages for all present CPUs
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: hv: allocate synic pages for all present CPUs
It may happen that not all CPUs are online when we do hv_synic_alloc() and
in case more CPUs come online later we may try accessing these allocated
structures.
