Hi Josh,

cpu_die() doesn't return.  Make that more explicit with a BUG().

BUG() is preferable to unreachable() because BUG() is a more explicit
failure mode and avoids undefined behavior like falling off the edge of
the function into whatever code happens to be next.

Can you update the documentation along? Currently we have:

  /*
   * Called from the idle thread for the CPU which has been shutdown.
   *
   * Note that we disable IRQs here, but do not re-enable them
   * before returning to the caller. This is also the behaviour
   * of the other hotplug-cpu capable cores, so presumably coming
   * out of idle fixes this.
   */
