Hello, Waiman. Sorry about the delay. Was off for a while.

I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with it given the
requirement that userland has to monitor invalid state transitions.
The same mass transition can happen through cpu hotplug operations,
right?

I think it'd be best if we can stick to some principles rather than
trying to adjust it for specific scenarios. e.g.:

* If a given state can be reached through cpu hot [un]plug, any
  configuration attempt which reaches the same state should be allowed
  with the same end result as cpu hot [un]plug.

* If a given state can't ever be reached in whichever way, the
  configuration attempting to reach such state should be rejected.

Thanks.
