I'm afraid it won't be committed without the second patch as without a
single user of cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable (among modules)
this patch doesn't make much sense. I would rather expect both of them
to go through Greg's tree but with proper sign-offs/reviewed-bys. And
of course this decision is up to tree maintainers, I'll resubmit the
vmbus patch in case CPU hotplug patch gets committed separately.

Thanks,
