    Is there anything obviously amiss with the below? It does stop_one_cpu()
    in a loop instead of the multi cpu stop_machine and is therefore much
    friendlier (albeit still heavier than bare resched IPIs) since the CPUs
    do not have to go an sync up.

    After all, all we're really interested in is that each CPUs has
    scheduled at least once, we do not care about the cross cpu syncup.
