The series do have few rough edges to address, but it's relatively
straightforward and I think does offer a nice improvement in the form of
consolidating the API for bringing up/down cpus from external
subsystems/drivers. Beside fix the inconsistency of device's core view of the
state of the cpu which can happen when cpu_{up/down} are called directly.

The downside I see is that the external API to bring cpus up/down for
suspend/resume and at boot seem to have grown a bit organically (I've added
a couple in this series to address 2 direct users of cpu_{up,down}). We might
need to rethink this API, but I think this is outside the scope of this series.

Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated.
Let me have a look.
