I prepared a lttng-modules commit [1] that uses CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN on 4.10
kernels, and it works fine through my cpu hotplug stress-testing. It's a very
good cleanup! Thanks Thomas for this nice API.
I'll be able to merge my commit into lttng-modules as soon as your patch
lands into Linux mainline.

cpu/hotplug: Provide dynamic range for prepare stage
Mathieu reported that the LTTNG modules are broken as of 4.10-rc1 due to
the removal of the cpu hotplug notifiers.
Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely
used in distros. There are two ways to solve that:
1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG
2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states.
While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert
in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as
well.
Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare
stage.
