Two major parts to this series:
1. Removal of the extended cede offline mode for CPUs as well as the
partition suspend code which accommodates it by temporarily
onlining all CPUs prior to suspending the LPAR. This solves some
accounting problems, simplifies the pseries CPU hotplug code, and
greatly uncomplicates the existing partition suspend code, easing
a much-needed transition to the Linux suspend framework. The two
patches which make up this part have been posted before:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=180718
and they are simply incorporated unchanged into the larger series
here, with Gautham's Reviewed-by added to patch #1.
2. Removal of the long-disabled "topology update" code, most of which
resides in mm/numa.c, but there are pieces in pseries and rtasd to
excise as well. This code was an attempt to honor changes in a
partition's NUMA properties arising from resource reassignments
which occur as part of a migration, VPHN change, or a Dynamic
Platform Optimizer operation. Its main technique is to remove and
re-add affected processors and LMBs and hope in vain that the
changes in cpu-node and physaddr-node relationships aren't
disruptive. We want to provide user space with some indication that
Linux's logical NUMA representation has become out of sync with the
platform's assignments, but we need to get this unusable stuff out
of the way before this code can sustain new features.
