I'm still quite unsure how this is going to work with the real CPU hot-remove
that makes the entire sysfs cpu directories go away. Can you please explain
that?
Sure. Not a problem. I just wanted to make sure you had a chance to look
at the code first.
Physical hot-remove triggers a "remove" for all the registered
subsys_interfaces for that CPU (after going through a couple of
functions). So, when that happens, the cpufreq subsys_interface remove
for that CPU gets called. At that point, I clean up that CPU's SW states
as if it was never plugged in from the start. If that CPU was the owner
of the sysfs directory, I move it over to a different CPU.
