The background to this is SDEI got its own cpuhp slot because 'perf NMI' support
was one of the use-cases, but this got superseded by pNMI. Without an interaction with
perf, the slot doesn't need to be that early.

(these things are documentation anyway)

This doesn't look right. How can this code take a mutex if its in a non-preemptable context?

Same again.

Same again.

I think you've copied these here because they called _local_event_unregister(), but they
did that via on_each_cpu(), which is what made _local_event_unregister() non-preemtable.

You can just remove these three, the original warnings were mostly documentation, and to
catch myself out. (before RT moved the goal posts).

With that:

Is there any mileage in making this CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN ?
Perf really was the only reason that this needed to happen in any particular order.
