[RFC 1/3] support powermac G5 CPU hotplug

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
Date: 2006-12-12 11:27:56

This patch allows "hotplugging" of CPUs on G5 machines. CPUs that are
disabled are put into an idle loop with interrupts hard-disabled, to wake
them up again we kick them just like when bringing them up.

Maybe there's some way to actually turn off those CPUs even more?
