Some quick comments:

- singlethread_cpu needs to be hotplug safe (broken currently)

- Any reason why cpu_populated_map is not modified on CPU_DEAD?

- I feel more comfortable if workqueue_cpu_callback were to take
  workqueue_mutex in LOCK_ACQ and release it in LOCK_RELEASE 
  notifications. This will provide stable access to cpu_populated_map
  to functions like __create_workqueue.

Finally, I wonder if these changes will be unnecessary if we move to
process freezer based hotplug locking ...
