Why aren't above lines well aligned? A simple trick to share for vim
users:

- Select lines you want to auto-align with shift+v and up-down keys
- press gq
- That's it and vim will do it for you. You need to set vim's
  'textwidth' to 72 or 80, based on what you are editing, so that vim
  knows where you need to break the line. I have this in vimrc

        set textwidth=80
        au FileType gitcommit set textwidth=72



Back to the real stuff. Few core changes have gone into v4.2-rc1 and
policy->cpu doesn't change any longer on hotplug (unless its a
physical hotplug). So you shouldn't see any issues.
