Comment doesn't match with the code?
"KVM should never perform a compatibility check on on offline CPU" should be
something like:
WARN_ON(!cpu_online(cpu));
So, should the comment be something like below?
"KVM compatibility check happens before CPU is marked as active".

The above sentence is broken.
I think below comment Quoted from Isaku's series should be OK?
/*
* During onlining a CPU, cpu_online_mask is set before
kvm_online_cpu()
* is called. on_each_cpu() between them includes the CPU. As a result,

*
* Disable CPU hotplug to prevent this case from happening.
