Hi, This is another iteration of the Arm64 virtual CPU hotplug support, updated for the review comments on the v3 smaller series posted back in December. I believe all feedback has been addressed - if I have missed something then please accept my apologies. Several patches have been dropped from the original series, including patches 2 and 3, the ACPICA patch adding the new GICC bits (now merged), the patch to rename ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU and the _OSC bits. The arch_unregister_cpu() fix has been merged into its appropriate commit. One change that has not been addressed yet is that it is likely that "ACPI: add support to (un)register CPUs based on the _STA enabled bit" needs to do more cleanup than it is doing when unregistering the CPU - much of acpi_processor_make_not_present() probably needs to be done to properly clean up - hence why this is still RFC for now. It is hoped that we have reached agreement with the remainder of the patches, and we are getting close to having something that can be merged once the above is addressed. This is from my aarch64/hotplug-vcpu/head branch, minus the top two commits, and is based on v6.8-rc2.
