Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the CPU hotplug core:

   - Support partial SMT enablement.

     So far the sysfs SMT control only allows to toggle between SMT on
     and off. That's sufficient for x86 which usually has at max two
     threads except for the Xeon PHI platform which has four threads per
     core

     Though PowerPC has up to 16 threads per core and so far it's only
     possible to control the number of enabled threads per core via a
     command line option. There is some way to control this at runtime,
     but that lacks enforcement and the usability is awkward

     This update expands the sysfs interface and the core infrastructure
     to accept numerical values so PowerPC can build SMT runtime control
     for partial SMT enablement on top

     The core support has also been provided to the PowerPC maintainers
     who added the PowerPC related changes on top

   - Minor cleanups and documentation updates"
