Please keep the _DEAD convention in that section. The plugged CPU is
already gone.

Are there any ordering requirements of these states vs. other CPU
hotplug states?

If not, then please use the dynamically allocated states.

If so, then please add a comment:

+	/* Must be before CPUHP_XXX and after CPUHP_YYY */
+	CPUHP_MM_DEMOTION_OFFLINE,

Thanks,
