Hi Catalin, Paul,

I've realised these patches are going to conflict with Paul's "arm64:
delete __cpuinit usage from all users", so I'd like to rebase this
series atop of it (removing my cpuinit additions as I do so).

Catalin, would you be happy to create a stable branch at some point soon
with Paul's arm64 patch for me to work atop of?

Thanks,
Mark.
