No, affected are only Exynos SoC-s. It was confirmed on Exynos4210
(Trats board) and Exynos3250 (new SoC, patches for it were recently
posted by Chanwoo).
Other Exynos SoC-s where MCT local timers use shared interrupts (SPI)
can also be affected. Candidates are Exynos 5250 and 5420 but I haven't
tested them.

Right. The timer must fire in short time between enabling local timer
for CPU1 and setting the affinity for IRQ.
In my case on ~1 GHz 2 core CPU (during idle state, system booted with
init=/bin/sh) it was easily triggered with:
for i in `seq 200`; do
echo 0 > /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu1/online
sleep 1
done
The stall happened typically after 10-30 seconds of such test.
