How does this relate to the existing cpu hotplug mechanism? Or is this
making the cpu exist (possible), vs marking it as online?

Is some other platform going to want to do the same? ie. should the
probe/release part be in generic code?

We know it's dlpar.c :)

What was all that? Firmware gives us a bogus full name? But the parent
is right?

You're sure rc is < 0.

No cast required.
