How so? The declaration is:

extern void arch_unregister_cpu(int cpu);

So:

void __weak arch_unregister_cpu(int num)

is compatible.

Yes, I agree - it needs to be present when ACPI is built, so I'm
thinking the right solution is to move it out from under at least
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

It can't be moved out from under CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES because
then we end up referencing the per-cpu variable cpu_devices which only
exists when CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES is enabled. Is that a problem
though, because in the case of !CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES, aren't
architectures required to provide both arch_.*register_cpu() functions?

Thanks.
