This patch delays populating the cpuinfo for a new (hotplugged)
CPU until the notifiers have executed. This will enable us to verify
if the new (hotplugged) CPU has all the capabilities which the system
already has. If it doesn't, we could prevent it from turning online and
also modifying the system wide feature register status.
