Hurph... I've got one splat from this version, one I've not seen before:

[ 68.712848] Dying CPU not properly vacated!
...
[ 68.744448] CPU1 enqueued tasks (2 total):
[ 68.745018] pid: 14, name: rcu_preempt
[ 68.745557] pid: 18, name: migration/1

Paul, rcu_preempt, is from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread(), right? Afaict that
doesn't even have affinity.. /me wonders HTH that ended up on the
runqueue so late.
