This patchset landed in linux next-20220426. By default SME is enabled 
and it breaks CPU hot-plug on all my arm64 test systems. Bisect points 
this patch, because it finally enables this feature. Here is a report 
from QEMU's arm64 virt machine:

# for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[1-9]; do echo 0 >$i/online; done
psci: CPU1 killed (polled 0 ms)
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
1
# for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[1-9]; do echo 1 >$i/online; done

Disabling SME on top of next-20220426 hides this issue.
