Is it a problem if we just call cpu_report_death() unconditionally? At a
glance it looks like we'd just change cpu_hotplug_state for the CPU, but
since it's going to either power down or hang anyway that seems fine.
If we could do that, then the only other thing the added kexec argument
is used for is preventing us from calling idle_task_exit(). We could
instead move that to arch_cpu_idle_dead() and not need to add the extra
argument to each implementation of play_dead(), which should make this
patch a little cleaner.
Thanks,
Paul
