    git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git blk-mq-hotplug-fix

commit 11b2025c3326f7096ceb588c3117c7883850c068    -> bad
    blk-mq: create a blk_mq_ctx for each possible CPU
does not boot on DASD and 
commit 9c6ae239e01ae9a9f8657f05c55c4372e9fc8bcc    -> good
   genirq/affinity: assign vectors to all possible CPUs
does boot with DASD disks.

Also adding Stefan Haberland if he has an idea why this fails on DASD and adding Martin (for the
s390 irq handling code).


Some history:
I got this warning
"WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 2895 at block/blk-mq.c:1144 with virtio-blk (also 4.12 stable)"
since 4.13 (and also in 4.12 stable)
on CPU hotplug of previously unavailable CPUs (real hotplug, no offline/online)

This was introduced with 

 blk-mq: Create hctx for each present CPU
    commit 4b855ad37194f7bdbb200ce7a1c7051fecb56a08 

And Christoph is currently working on a fix. The fixed kernel does boot with virtio-blk and
it fixes the warning but it hangs (outstanding I/O) with dasd disks.
