Subject: Re: [PATCH] Redefine {un}register_hotcpu_notifier() !HOTPLUG_CPU
 stubs as static inline function

[ Eeks, please replace previous patch with this, and change the patch
  name and changelog as per that indicated in this mail -- apologies
  for the inconvenience caused! ]


[PATCH] Redefine {un}register_hotcpu_notifier() !HOTPLUG_CPU stubs as static inline functions

The return of the present "do {} while" based stub definition of
register_hotcpu_notifier() cannot be checked, but the real HOTPLUG_CPU=y
implementation of register_hotcpu_notifier() is int-returning. So let us
make this stub consistent with the full version. Redefining this as such
will also help us remove some #ifdef-ery elsewhere in kernel code, as
shown in forthcoming patch. Also do the same for unregister_xxx case.
