Subject: Remove hotplug cpu crap from cpufreq.
I've had it with this stuff. For months, we've had various warnings
popping up from this code (which was clearly half-baked at best when it
went in).
Until someone steps up who actually gives a damn about fixing it, can
we just rip this crap out so I stop getting mails from users who couldn't
care less about CPU hotplug anyway?
Dave
The hotplug CPU locking in cpufreq is hurrendous.
No-one seems to care enough to fix it, so just remove it
so that the 99.9% of the real world users of this code can
use cpufreq without being bothered by warnings.
