Previously we use cpu_added_notifiers to register cpu hotplug notifier callback which is not able to pass/handle errors, so we switch it to unified hotplug handler API which allows to pass errors and would allow to cancel device_add in case of error. Thanks very much for Igor's review and suggestion.
v3: -deal with start-up cpus in pc_cpu_plug as Igor suggested. v2: -Add 3 new patches(5/7,6/7,7/7), delete original patch 5/5. 1/5-->1/7 2/5-->2/7 3/5-->3/7 4/5-->4/7 Patch 1/7: -add errp argument to catch error. -return error instead of aborting if cpu id is invalid. -make acpi_cpu_plug_cb as a wrapper around AcpiCpuHotplug_add. Patch 3/7: -remove unused AcpiCpuHotplug_add directly. Patch 5/7: -switch the last user of cpu hotplug notifier to hotplug handler API, and remove the unused cpu hotplug notify. Patch 6/7: -split the function rename (just cleanup) into single patch. Patch 7/7: -introduce help function acpi_set_local_sts to keep the bit setting in one place.
