Both onlining/offlining are prevented, or just offlining?

The previous patch says:

	It does not prevent the initial bring up of the CPU, but it stops 
	subsequent offlining.

And ...

... here cpu_down_maps_locked() only prevents offlining if I am reading
correctly.

Also, can we rename cpu_hotplug_supported to cpu_offline_supported to match the
behaviour better?

Anyway, isn't it a little bit odd to have:

	if (!cpu_hotplug_supported)
 		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
 	if (cpu_hotplug_disabled)
 		return -EBUSY;

?
