Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be =
able
to depend on disabling preemption to prevent CPUs from going offline
from under us.
Could you use an rcu-like sequence so that disabling pre-emption
would be enough?

Something like rebuilding the cpu list, then forcing yourself
to run on all the cpu.

That would be far less intrusive.
