OK, this seems to work here, at least based on a sample of 2
systems, bringing CPUs up and down whist a VM is pinned to
these CPUs.
Isaku, can you please squash this into the original patch
and drop Oliver's Reviewed-by: tag, as this significantly
changes the logic?
Alternatively, I can repost this patch as a standalone change.
Thanks,
M.
