Shouldn't we rather modify the tagset to only refer to the current online
CPUs _only_, thereby never submit a connect request for hctx with only
offline CPUs?
Then you may setup very less io queues, and performance may suffer even
though lots of CPUs become online later.

Only if we stay with the reduced number of I/O queues. Which is not what I'm
proposing; I'd rather prefer to connect and disconnect queues from the cpu
hotplug handler. For starters we could even trigger a reset once the first
cpu within a hctx is onlined.
Yeah, that need one big/complicated patchset, but not see any advantages
over this simple approach.
I tend to agree with Ming here.
