Hm. What you say is true, but this one in particular has nothing to do
with oprofile! It has something to do with reading /dev/cpu/*/msr
while hot-unplugging cpu1:

 [<c011733e>] msr_read+0x6e/0xa0
 [<c01a87b4>] vfs_read+0x94/0x130

I wasn't using oprofile when this happened. So I think it should also
be considered a separate issue. Though yes -- CPU hotplug in general
tends to break a lot of things.
