Nit: "If it isn't, park the CPU."

Any reason for not using upper-case names for the macros?

Given they're local you could just call them TGRAN_SHIFT and TRGRAN_ON
to make the asm slightly nicer.

Other than the above, this loogs fine to me.

In future it would be nice if we could somehow signal that these dead
CPUs are trapped in the kernel -- we should have some kind of canary
mechanism for that. That needn't block this patch, though.

Thanks,
Mark.
