Thanks Con.  I can't build a ck kernel without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU but I don't
know if this is a bug or a feature :)

Your latest sched_bfs.c encloses the subroutine sched_set_stop_task() inside of
an #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU section.

But the most recent stop_machine.c uses that subroutine twice -- once inside of
an #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU section, and again outside of that section.

The result is that stop_machine.o still needs sched_set_stop_task() even if
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not defined, so the build fails in the link stage with
a missing symbol error.

Thanks for any suggestions/clarifications.
