Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu(), that takes
action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed
is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This caused lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

On addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical
section as part of start_secondary() call were interrupts are disabled.
To resolve this issue, the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call is
is being replaced by a hotplug notifier which
would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined in the critical code path.
It was fixed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/18/174.

Also it is essential to call cpuidle_enable/disable_device
between  cpuidle_pause_and_lock()  and
cpuidle_resume_and_unlock()  when used externally
to avoid race conditions. Add support for CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN
and CPU_DEAD_FROZEN as part of hotplug notify event for
pseries_idle  and unregister hotplug notifier
while exiting out. The above mentioned issues
are fixed as part of this patch.
