It would be great if you can provide some more info.  Even just a CPU
time profile would be helpful.

It would also be great to understand more about what "hotplug on power
systems" actually means.  Is this a synthetic benchmark, or are actual
end-users running into this issue?  Are entire nodes of CPUs going
offline?  Or is this just doing an offline/online of CPU 22 in a 100-CPU
NUMA node?
