You could move the thread_sibling_pacas allocation to here?
Speaking of which... core_idle_state and thread_sibling_pacas are
allocated with kmalloc_node... What happens if we take an SLB miss
in the idle wakeup code on these guys? Nothing good I think. Perhaps
we should put them into the pacas or somewhere in bolted memory.
Good cleanup though.
