[PATCH 0/2] __cpuhp_setup_state() returns positive value for dynamic state

[Boris Ostrovsky]

The first patch corrects description of __cpuhp_setup_state()'s possible
return values and the second fixes a bug (which causes Xen guests to crash).

As a follow-up question for the first patch --- should we allow calling
__cpuhp_setup_state() with state in [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN + 1 .. CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END]
range?

[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: Remove cpu hotplug callbacks only if they were initialized

[Boris Ostrovsky]

Since cpu hotplug callbacks are requested for CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN state,
successful callback initialization will result in cpuhp_setup_state()
returning a positive value. Therefore acpi_cpufreq_online being zero
indicates that callbacks have not been installed.

This means that acpi_cpufreq_boost_exit() should only remove them if
acpi_cpufreq_online is positive. Trying to call
cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(0) will cause a BUG().
