Well, let me look... yeah, it happened only once on -rc1 when I reported
it. This box runs plain -rc2 now and there are no more hickups. And no,
regular hotplug looks ok too.

What happened, though, while playing with this a bit is that I offlined
cpu 1 (box is a dual core) and suspended to disk. The box hung itself
while resuming with only cpu 0 online, at the end of resume where it
says "Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)."

And yes, this is reproducible after I rebooted and tried the same deal
again.

Oh well, I don't know whether this is related to ->hardirq_context thing
being set above but in any case, it looks b0rked.

Thanks.
