Nope, the cpu_online map should catch this. NR_CPUS is always 32
in SMP mode.

in get_cpuinfo ....

                if (!(cpu_online_map & (1<<n)))
                        continue;

I didn't notice that this would only work in SMP mode. 

It's a horrible hack, but it's less horrible than corrupting memory randomly ;-)
