From: Richard Cochran As part of the hotplug cleanup, the CPU_STARTING/DYING actions are going away soon. This driver needlessly uses those two macro, and so this patch replaces that code with something more sensible. Commit 8da8373447d6a57a5a9f55233d35beb15d92d0d2 ("ACPI / processor: Fix STARTING/DYING action in acpi_cpu_soft_notify()") added checks for those two actions, because the notification callback can sleep, causing a hung CPU. This patch instead checks for the ONLINE/DEAD actions, which are the ones that are handled by the driver in the first place.
