Hi Boris,

Understood and thank you.

Hi Thomas,

Boris suggested that we productise your patch below to address the hotplug
teardown race in timers_dead_cpu() alongside this x86/mce timer series.

Would you be happy for me to formalise your diff [1] into a standalone
patch, provide a complete changelog, and incorporate it into the series
with your authorship and Signed-off-by?

Kind regards,
