Yes I think it is safe given that b15_rac_dying_cpu() will run on the 
dying CPU and any CPU that is left will basically re-enable the RAC 
afterwards if necessary in b15_rac_dead_cpu().

The hardware to test this is quite ancient, but if you give me a test 
case to exercise, I can give it a spin.

Thank you Frederic!
