Hello, Peter,

I'm reading the code in kernel/cpu.c.
I couldn't understand why both lockep_map are acquired here?
Is the lockep_map matching for the argument @bringup enough here?

The log shows that the argument @bringup had been added
when the time this commit was applied. But it was quite probably
non-existed when you wrote the patch since the time was close.

thanks,
Lai.
