Hi Christoph,

One thing not sure is that we may need to handle new CPU hotplug
after initialization. Without the CPU hotplug handler, system may
not scale well when more CPUs are added to sockets.

Another thing is that I don't see how NVMe handles this situation,
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() is called in nvme_reset_work(), so
that means RESET need to be triggered after new CPUs are added to
system? I have tried to add new CPUs runtime on Qemu, and not see
new hw queues are added no matter this patchset is applied or not.

Thanks,
Ming
