Btw, this obviously implies that all stop_machine() users had better be 
later in the boot sequence.

And no, I didn't check that exhaustively. There's the tracing 
infrastructure, and it's also core_initcall(), but it should be linked 
later. And module loading will happen later. mm/page_alloc.c has special 
code for bootup, and intel-rng.c should be a normal driver.

So it _should_ be ok. But I really didn't test. And my default kernel 
config doesn't even have CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE enabled, so I'm not the best 
person to test.
