Right.

To offline cpus properly, it should be done with threads like stop_machine().
But I don't think it is reasonable to kick the threads in panic case.
Therefore, I will make a patch keeping cpus online.
Also, to inform a panicked cpu that other cpus stopped surely,
 I will  introduce a new cpu_mask like cpu_stopped_mask.
