right. I will add this test.

Can you elaborate ? Do you mean we check irq affinity for a offlined cpu
is moved to another cpu ? Or something like that ?

suspend/resume?

Right. I am not sure what interactions we really want to check in the
test suite but we have to keep this in mind.

Well I guess there a several way to do that: sysfs will give the
configured cpu on the system in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX or
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF and _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
