Thank you for tracking this down!!!

Huh. CPU 0 is normally the boot CPU. Back in the day, it could not
be offlined. Given that your testing indicates that CPU 0 can now be
taken offline, maybe this "if" statement is a holdover that someone
forgot to remove?

But I must defer to those who know a lot more about this level of
x86 code than I do.

Thanx, Paul
