I'd be much more clear:

	pr_warn("CPU%d: Booted with LPIs enabled, memory probably corrupted\n",
		smp_processor_id());
	add_taint(TAINT_CRAP, LOCKDEP_STILL_OK);

Let's call a spade a spade: the redistributor hasn't reacted after a
whole second, it has probably locked-up. Just say so, because your
message doesn't mean much to me.

EPERM? EBUSY was a better approximation...

Thanks,
