Nit: isn't Exynos4412 a quad-A9 (ARMv7 rather than ARMv8)?

In the case of shutting down 2 CPUs in quick succession (without an
intervening boot of a CPU), surely this does not solve the potential
race on the wait_cpu_die variable?

I think we instead need a percpu synchronisation variable, which would
prevent racing on the value between CPUs, and a CPU would have to be
brought up before we could decide to kill it again. With that I think we
only need a single bit, too.

Thanks,
Mark.
