Well, I'm afraid this won't be sufficient this time, because of this commit in
my tree (which is not on the acpi-scan branch):

commit 3757b94802fb65d8f696597a74053cf21738da0b
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Feb 13 14:36:47 2013 +0100

    ACPI / hotplug: Fix concurrency issues and memory leaks

after which acpi_bus_scan() and acpi_bus_trim() have to be run under
acpi_scan_lock (new in my tree as well).

Moreover, I think that the introduction of ACPI-based CPU hotplug into Xen
and this point would be premature, because we need to rework the original
ACPI-based CPU hotplug and quite frankly it shouldn't call acpi_bus_scan()
directly at all.

Konrad?

Thanks,
Rafael
