I am sorry. I would like to take it back my previous comment. The code
above looks for inconsistency in the state of the effective_cpus mask to
find out if it is racing with a hotplug event. If it is, we can skip the
domain generation as the hotplug event will do that too. The checks are
still valid with the current patchset. So I don't think we need to make
any change here.

Cheers,
Longman
