Quite frankly, I'm not convinced. Yeah, yeah, most distro's end up always enabling CPU hotplug due to suspend/resume, but: - desktop PC's aren't where most memory pressures are anyway - on UP, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU isn't on even if you do have suspend/resume - we should still care about embedded devices, and while some of them are growing up (and having SMP and not caring about a few tens of kB of memory), I don't think that's a valid argument for the other ones. So. I'd rather we try to keep our init sections, and continue to spend effort on fixing them. If at all possible.
