An interesting test might be what happens to tasks that had affinity
only on the CPU that just went offline?

Interaction with irqbalancing?

What about interaction with various forms of power save or suspend/resume?

(Hmm side note - how do I detect that I have ARMv7MP as opposed to plain
v7 - i.e. that I can do a PLDW - if anything is doing it by detecting multiple
CPUs it might get confused by hotplug sometimes only showing one - I suspect
that's the wrong way).
