Just wondering if
1. Instead of using -1 for all cpus, we should do
for_each_online_cpu() {
opal_numm_set_ptcr(...)
}
2. In cpu hotplug path do the same when onlining and set to NULL on
offlining?
I think we should definitely try and become hotplug aware from the OS
view point and drive it from the OS
What do you think?
