Thank you for the update! From a quick look, patches [01-08/16] appear to be good now, but I'll do a more detailed review on the following days. > Fundamental change v6+: At the level of common ACPI infrastructure, use > the existing hotplug path for arm64 even though what needs to be > done at the architecture specific level is quite different. > > An explicit check in arch_register_cpu() for arm64 prevents > this code doing anything if Physical CPU Hotplug is signalled. > > This should resolve any concerns about treating virtual CPU > hotplug as if it were physical and potential unwanted side effects > if physical CPU hotplug is added to the ARM architecture in the > future. > > v6: Thanks to Rafael for extensive help with the approach + reviews. > Specific changes: > - Do not differentiate wrt code flow between traditional CPU HP > and the new ARM flow.

Done now, I've sent comments on patches [4-5/16]. The other patches in the first half of the series LGTM. I can't say much about the ARM64-specific part and the last patch has been already ACKed by Thomas. Thanks!
