[PATCH] x86_64: CPU hotplug support
Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64 ----------------------------------------- This supports logical CPU online and offline. - Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well. - idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup TBD: 1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2) 2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.
