Do we need Powerpc override for arch_update_cpu_topology() now?  That
topology_changed sometime back doesn't seem to have help. The scheduler
atleast now is neglecting whether the topology changed or not.

Also we can do away with the new topology_changed.

Should this hunk be a separate patch by itself to say why
rebuild_sched_domains with a changelog that explains why it should be under
lock_device_hotplug? rebuild_sched_domains already takes cpuset_mutex. 
So I am not sure if we need to take device_hotplug_lock.

Is sdo any abbrevation?

Why do we need topology_scan? Just to make sure
cpu_associativity_changes_mask is populated only once?
cant we use a static bool inside the function for the same?

Any reason to remove the else above?

Are the above two hunks necessary? Not getting how the current changes are
different from the previous.
