I was not aware of this work going on. I am based at Cambridge and Fangying
in Hangzhou and work for different teams.

Yes, I have it and have integrated it with the Virtual CPU hotplug branch
and I am testing them.

I have also rebased virtual cpu hotplug patches and integrated the PMU
related changes recently been discussed in other mail-chain. Plus, I am
also dealing with the MPIDR/affinity part from the Kernel which has been
discussed earlier with the Marc Zyngier. 

It looks some of the changes are common here like ability to set MPIDR
of the vcpus at the time of their creation inside KVM. And the PPTT
table changes which were present in your refresh branch as well. Changes
related to the possible and present vcpus might need a sync as well.

@Andrew, should I take out the part which is common and affects the
virtual cpu hotplug and push them separately. This way I can have part
of the changes related to the vcpu hotplug done which will also cover
this patch-set requirements as well? 

@Fangying, will this work for you?
