This patch depends on
"[PATCH v2 02/52] CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration functions" 
of the series (Can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/14/59).
This particular patch defines 'cpu_notifier_register_begin',
'__register_cpu_notifier', and 'cpu_notifier_register_done' in the
cpu-hotplug core. Are you seeing the build breakage with this patch on
?
