Nathan Fontenot 12633e803a sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files ... Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.
