Agree it's ugly. Not sure we share the same reasoning. I realize that the hotplug case is on the current cpu and so that whole one_each_cpu_mask() call is not needed. mktme_program_package() can just be called on the current cpu. The ugliness that haunts me is that I wanted to reuse this code path, and so I passed that 'hotplug' parameter along as a differentiator between hotplug & 'typical' key programming. I'll rework this.
