    [PATCH] hotplug: Allow modules to use the cpu hotplug notifiers even if !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU · 47e627bc

    The following patchset allows a host with running virtual machines to be
    suspended and, on at least a subset of the machines tested, resumed.  Note
    that this is orthogonal to suspending and resuming an individual guest to a
    file.
    
    A side effect of implementing suspend/resume is that cpu hotplug is now
    supported.  This should please the owners of big iron.
    
    This patch:
    
    KVM wants the cpu hotplug notifications, both for cpu hotplug itself, but more
    commonly for host suspend/resume.
    
    In order to avoid extensive #ifdefs, provide stubs when CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG is
    not defined.
    
    In all, we have four cases:
    
    - UP: register and unregister stubbed out
    - SMP+hotplug: full register and unregister
    - SMP, no hotplug, core: register as __init, unregister stubbed
          (cpus are brought up during core initialization)
    - SMP, no hotplug, module: register and unregister stubbed out
          (cpus cannot be brought up during module lifetime)
