+ * The operation is still serialized against concurrent CPU hotplug via
+ * cpu_add_remove_lock, i.e. CPU map protection. But it is _not_
+ * serialized against other hotplug related activity like adding or
+ * removing of state callbacks and state instances, which invoke either the
+ * startup or the teardown callback of the affected state.
+ *
+ * This is required for subsystems which are unfixable vs. CPU hotplug and
+ * evade lock inversion problems by scheduling work which has to be
+ * completed _before_ cpu_up()/_cpu_down() returns.
+ *
+ * Don't even think about adding anything to this for any new code or even
+ * drivers. It's only purpose is to keep existing lock order trainwrecks
+ * working.
+ *
+ * For cpu_down() there might be valid reasons to finish cleanups which are
+ * not required to be done under cpu_hotplug_lock, but that's a different
+ * story and would be not invoked via this.

+ * user space when a new CPU is brought up. The CPU plug uevent
+ * would be delivered and user space reacting on it would fail to
+ * move tasks to the newly plugged CPU up to the point where the
