As per the original report
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1643027)
I am able to reproduce the problem.

The workload is (on S390 architecture):
2 processes onlining random cpus in a tight loop by using 'echo 1 >
/sys/bus/cpu.../online'
2 processes offlining random cpus in a tight loop by using 'echo 0 >
/sys/bus/cpu.../online'
Otherwise, fairly idle system. load average: 5.82, 6.27, 6.27

The machine has 10 processors.
The warning message some times hits within a few minutes on starting the
workload. Other times it takes several hours.
