[RFC PATCH 0/4] ACPI: processor: refactor acpi_processor_{get_info|remove}

[Miguel Luis]

Both acpi_processor_get_info and acpi_processor_remove functions have
architecture dependent functionality enabled via CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU.

Current pre-processor guards are restricting too much of functionality which
makes it dificult to integrate other features such as Virtual CPU
hotplug/unplug for arm64.

This series, applied on top of v6.9-rc3, suggests a refactoring on these two
functions with the intent to understand them better and hopefully ease
integration of more functionality.

Apart from patches 2/4 and 3/4, which could be squashed but left them separated
intentionally so it would ease reviewing, changes are self-contained.

So far I've boot tested it successfully alone and as a prefix for vCPU hotplug/unplug
patches [1], on arm64.
