    [PATCH] Use CPU_UP_PREPARE properly · 86c1b9ae

    The cpu hotplug code actually provides two notifiers: CPU_UP_PREPARE
    which preceeds the online and can fail, and CPU_ONLINE which can't.
    
    Current usage is only done at boot, so this distinction doesn't
    matter, but it's a bad example to set.  This also means that the
    migration threads do not have to be higher priority than the
    others, since they are ready to go before any CPU_ONLINE callbacks
    are done.
    
    This patch is experimental but fairly straight foward: I haven't been
    able to test it since extracting it from the hotplug cpu code, so it's
    possible I screwed something up.
