It's not completely clear who "maintainers" refers to when it comes to this
code.

fyi, with a little rework I queued these changes behind Akinobu Mita's
cpu-hotplug changes:
cpu-hotplug-slab-cleanup-cpuup_callback.patch
cpu-hotplug-slab-fix-memory-leak-in-cpu-hotplug-error-path.patch
cpu-hotplug-cpu-deliver-cpu_up_canceled-only-to-notify_oked-callbacks-with-cpu_up_prepare.patch
cpu-hotplug-topology-remove-topology_dev_map.patch
cpu-hotplug-thermal_throttle-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling.patch
cpu-hotplug-msr-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling.patch
cpu-hotplug-cpuid-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling.patch
cpu-hotplug-mce-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling.patch
cpu-hotplug-intel_cacheinfo-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling.patch
cpu-hotplug-intel_cacheinfo-fix-cpu-hotplug-error-handling-fix-a-section-mismatc
Lots of other patches keep on coming in and trashing his changes and it's
getting a bit bothersome.
