Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] ARM: B15: Add CPU hotplug awareness
The Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache needs to be disabled,
respectively re-enable during a CPU hotplug. In case we were not to do,
CPU hotplug would occasionally fail with random crashes when a given CPU
exits the coherency domain while the RAC is still enabled, as it would
get stale data from the RAC.
In order to avoid adding any specific B15 readahead-cache awareness to
arch/arm/mach-bcm/hotplug-brcmstb.c we use a CPU hotplug state machine
which allows us to catch CPU hotplug events and disable/flush enable the
RAC accordingly.

+/* The CPU hotplug case is the most interesting one, we basically need to make

+ * domain.
+ *
+ * Once this CPU is marked dead, we can safely re-enable the RAC for the
+ * remaining CPUs in the system which are still online.
+ *
+ * Offlining a CPU is the problematic case, onlining a CPU is not much of an
+ * issue since the CPU and its cache-level hierarchy will start filling with
+ * the RAC disabled, so L1 and L2 only.
+ *
+ * In this function, we should NOT have to verify any unsafe setting/condition
+ * b15_rac_base:
+ *
+ * It is protected by the RAC_ENABLED flag which is cleared by default, and
+ * being cleared when initial procedure is done. b15_rac_base had been set at
+ * that time.
+ *
+ * RAC_ENABLED:
+ * There is a small timing windows, in b15_rac_init(), between
+ * cpuhp_setup_state_*()
+ * ...
+ * set RAC_ENABLED
+ * However, there is no hotplug activity based on the Linux booting procedure.
+ *
+ * Since we have to disable RAC for all cores, we keep RAC on as long as as
+ * possible (disable it as late as possible) to gain the cache benefit.
+ *
+ * Thus, dying/dead states are chosen here
+ *
+ * We are choosing not do disable the RAC on a per-CPU basis, here, if we did
+ * we would want to consider disabling it as early as possible to benefit the
