It would also increase the latency of CPU-hotunplug operations.

Is that a big deal?

I thought that was the whole deal with this patchset - making cpu
hotunplugs lighter and faster mostly for powersaving.  That said, just
removing stop_machine call would be a pretty good deal and I don't
know how meaningful reducing CPU hotunplug latency is.  Srivatsa?

Keeping the hotunplug latency is important for suspend/resume, where
we take all non-boot CPUs in a loop. That's an interesting use-case
where intrusiveness doesn't matter much, but latency does. So yes,
making CPU hotplug faster is also one of the goals of this patchset.
