BTW, what exactly are the ramifications without the patch -- does the
crash session die during initialization? How come nobody ran into
this issue given that the code has been in place for almost 2 years?
Again -- what actually happens as a result of the incorrect nr_cpus calculation?
I need something to put in the crash.changelog.
