Hi Salil,

Thanks for quick review!

You've found the 'ugly' in this approach vs keeping them separate.

For this version I wanted to keep it clear that indeed this condition
is a complex mess of different things (and to let people compare
it easily with the two paths in v5 to convinced themselves this
is the same) 

It's also a little tricky to do, so will need some thought.

I don't think a simple acpi_cpu_is_hotplug() condition is useful
as it just moves the complexity away from where a reader is looking
and it would only be used in this one case.

It doesn't separate well into finer grained subconditions because
(C) is a messy case of the vCPU HP case and a not done
something else earlier.  The disadvantage of only deferring for
arm64 and not other architectures.

The best I can quickly come up with is something like this:
#define acpi_cpu_not_present(cpu) \
	(invalid_logical_cpuid(cpu) || !cpu_present(cpu))
#define acpi_cpu_not_enabled(cpu) \
	(!invalid_logical_cpuid(cpu) || cpu_present(cpu))

	if ((apci_cpu_not_enabled(pr->id) && !get_cpu_device(pr->id) ||
	    acpi_cpu_not_present(pr->id))

Which would still need the same amount of documentation. The
code still isn't enough for me to immediately be able to see
what is going on.

So maybe worth it... I'm not sure.  Rafael, you get to keep this
fun, what would you prefer?
