I've been trying to figure out why we would see this particular hang
with SMP and not UP (or maybe it is just very much more unlikely to
happen with UP), but haven't been able to come up with a sequence of
events to support this yet.  It also worries me that we weren't seeing
this with KVM, since it indicates that we're either doing something
wrong in the KVM or QEMU GIC emulation code, potentially.

In any case, this patch is correct, so:
