[PATCH 0/1] LP#295091 -- do not create sysfs links for down CPUs

[Andy Whitcroft]

The commit below introduces new sysfs links for hot-plugable cpus.
However these are created for each ACPI listed cpu regardless of whether
they were actually sucessfully started.  In Hardy we have another but
#213011 where for some AMDx2 processors the second cpu will not start.
These two in combination lead to a panic on boot when we try to create
these sysfs links.

	create sysfs link from acpi device to sysdev for cpu
	
	Bug: #248509

The patch which follow simply skips the creation of and removal of these
links when the cpu was never initialised.  This has been tested by the bug
reported to fix the issue.

Proposing for Hardy SRU.
