Hi Thomas,

Thanks for having a look at the patch. Responses inline.

That's the one ^^^. The mask is determined by the affinity of the
interrupt partition.

Actually, if I rework this to use cpuhp_state_add_instance instead, then
I might be able to do without the hotplug lock altogether. I'll have a
play.

Yes, I think that will work and I can get rid of get_online_cpus around
the probing too.

Yikes, well spotted. That will then get called with the freed spe_pmu,
which will probably end badly.

Thanks, I'll fix this too.
