Doesn't apply to -mm5 because someone did wierd things with the CPU
placement in driverfs, which clashes with this patch which moves it to
kernel/cpu.c...
Usage:
1) Apply patch, and boot resulting kernel.
2) echo 0 > /devices/root/sys/cpu0/online
3) echo 1 > /devices/root/sys/cpu0/online
The CPU actually spins with interrupts off, doing cpu_relax() and
polling a variable. It's basically useful for testing the unplug
infrastructure and benchmarking.

Errr.. you may want to use
/devices/class/cpu/devices/[0..num_online_cpus()]. There are symlinks
here for every registered CPU device, no matter how some NUMA wacko
rearranges the root/sys directory topology. ;)

Hehe, with this swsusp should be doable on
an smp machine (turn it into UP and suspend;
during resume, turn it into UP, resume, and go
back SMP). I guess I schould get some SMP
to play with...
