I'll try to remember trying this out the next time I see it. I can't
see a connection to the used scheduler though, when the message comes
out of __cpu_die(). There must be an excessive delay for the dying
CPU to finally call cpu_exit_clear(). I wonder if the CPU might e.g.
be scrubbing memory at that point. But that shouldn't happen this
early.

I don't think we did, but I agree this may be worthwhile to do if it
wouldn't result in adding ugly special cases somewhere.
