You sure? I don't you will get confused with this as you already know
all this, but I will still write it down for the sake of clarity.

We aren't talking about offlining a CPU here, but a real physical
hotplug. Why should the kernel keep a device structure for a device if
it isn't physically present on the system?

acpi_processor_remove() removes the CPU device and I thought it was
all related to that hotplug.

Am I missing something ?
