Hi Rafael,

Per the recent your changes in lock_device_hotplug(), do you think it
makes sense to integrate this patchset into your tree?  I am also
considering to add one more patch to use lock_device_hotplug_sysfs() in
cpu_probe_store().  I will rebase to your tree and send them today if it
makes sense to you.

Thanks,
-Toshi
