CC David to see if he knows this.

Is it something that {c,sh}ould be silenced if the BSC CPU holds the lock (as I presume), or is it indicating a real problem because the elfheader cannot be updated? My limited understanding would suggest this should be ignored silently. From scanning the code it seems to suggest this is intended for sysfs directed CPU hotplug events.
