Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a elegant notifier to fix lockdep problem in start_secondary


The following patch is to remove the pseries_notify_add_cpu() call
and replace it by a hot plug notifier.
This would prevent cpuidle resources being
released and allocated each time cpu comes online on pseries.
The earlier design was causing a lockdep problem
in start_secondary as reported on this thread
-https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

This applies on 3.4-rc7

Any reason why you don't do cpuidle_disable_device() when the
CPU is going offline and cpuidle_enable_device() when it's coming
back ?

I'm applying the patch for now since it fixes a real problem but
if the above makes sense, please send a followup fix.

Cheers,
Ben.

No I'm not ... it's damaged in some odd ways (some whitespace
missing here or there among others). Please resend a fixed one.

In the current design disable and enable device are called
when the cpu comes online. This is to make sure that we clean up and
re-register again. All the counters are reset.

Not calling cpu disable when cpu goes offline currently, would only
retain the counters right now.

But I could add a offline check and disable the device there, if that
results in cleaner design. I will test and send across the patch with
couple more pseries-idle fixes soon.

Thanks for your review comments !
