Is there a function problem here, or is this just cleanup from
inspection?

Core code including the cpuhp_*() callbacks uses an int, so if there's a
strong justification to change this, it suggests there's some treewide
cleanup that should be done.

I don't have strong feelings on the matter, but I'd like to understand
the rationale.

Thanks,
Mark.
